How Perma-Seal Can Help
Our Services in Elgin
Basement Waterproofing
A dry, healthy basement adds value to your home and peace of mind to your life. We help eliminate water problems by addressing:
Wall Cracks – Sealing foundation cracks to stop water entry.
Cove Joint Seepage – Installing interior drainage at the floor-wall joint.
Window Well Leaks – Ensuring your basement windows drain properly and are watertight.
Foundation Repair
Elgin’s mixed soil types and flood-prone areas can contribute to foundation movement. We provide permanent solutions for:
Stair-Step Cracks – A visible sign of settling foundations.
Bowing Walls – Often caused by hydrostatic pressure from oversaturated soil.
Uneven or Sloped Floors – Symptoms of foundation shifting or sinking.
Crawl Space Solutions
If your crawl space is vented or unfinished—common in older homes on Elgin’s east side—you could be dealing with musty odors, pests, and poor energy efficiency. Our solutions include:
Vapor Barriers – Our crawl space encapsulation systems block moisture from the soil below.
Dehumidifiers – Prevent mold and regulate indoor humidity.
Vent Sealing – Protect your crawl space from outside contaminants.
Concrete Repair & Protection
Eliminate trip hazards and preserve your property’s curb appeal with our cost-effective concrete services:
