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:

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.

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:
