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:

  • Concrete Lifting – Raise sinking sidewalks, stoops, patios, and driveways.

  • Concrete Sealing – Shield concrete from water damage, cracking, and deicing salts.

  • Commercial Concrete Leveling – Large-scale solutions for business lots, walkways, and municipal properties.

Additional Services

In addition to our waterproofing & foundation repair services, we also offer a variety of services designed to help you keep your home comfortable and dry year-round:

  • Egress Window Installation – Improve natural light and emergency access in finished basements with expert egress window installation.

  • Attic & Basement Insulation – Our home insulation services help reduce energy waste and maintain comfort year-round.

  • Basement Plumbing – Install or repair ejector pumps, water heaters, or laundry tubs.
