How Perma-Seal Can Help
Our Services in Joliet
Basement Waterproofing
A wet basement in Joliet isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a serious risk to your home’s value and health. We solve common issues like:
Wall Cracks – We offer expert foundation crack repair to help prevent water intrusion.
Cove Joint Seepage – Our basement drainage system is installed where the floor and walls meet.
Window Well Leaks – Properly drained and sealed to keep water out.
Foundation Repair
Joliet’s clay-rich soils can shift dramatically between dry and wet seasons, leading to:
Stair-Step Cracks – Often the first visible sign of foundation settlement.
Bowing Walls – Bowed foundation walls are caused by external soil pressure against foundation walls.
Uneven Floors – Indicate potential foundation sinking or shifting.
Crawl Space Solutions
Many older Joliet homes were built with vented crawl spaces that now allow in moisture, pests, and cold drafts. We offer:
Vapor Barriers – Our crawl space encapsulation systems keep moisture from rising up into your home.
Dehumidifiers – Dehumidifier installation can help maintain clean, dry air and discourage mold growth.
Vent Sealing – Block off outside air and pest infiltration.
Concrete Repair & Protection
Sidewalks, patios, and driveways in Joliet take a beating from freeze-thaw cycles and ground movement. We restore and protect your concrete with:
Concrete Lifting – Our residential concrete raising services help level sunken slabs without tearing them out.
Concrete Sealing – Prevent cracking, staining, and salt corrosion.
Commercial Concrete Leveling – We also offer commercial concrete leveling solutions for apartment complexes, retail plazas, and city sidewalks.
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 – Basement windows add light, ventilation, and emergency access to finished basements.
Attic & Basement Insulation – Our insulation services are designed to improve comfort and cut energy costs.
