From heavy spring rains to seasonal flooding from the Kankakee River, homes in Kankakee face serious risks of basement water intrusion and foundation movement. Whether you’re located near East River Street, Court Street, or in neighborhoods like Aroma Park or Bradley, the effects of shifting soils and extreme weather are real—and so is the damage they can cause.
That’s where Perma-Seal comes in. We’ve been helping homeowners in Kankakee, Bourbonnais, Bradley, and surrounding communities stay dry and safe since 1979. With over four decades of experience in the region, we understand the unique challenges presented by Kankakee’s mix of flood-prone areas and aging home foundations.
How Perma-Seal Can Help
Our Services in Kankakee
Basement Waterproofing
If water is seeping into your basement—especially during heavy rain or snowmelt—we have permanent basement waterproofing solutions, including:
Wall Cracks – We offer wall crack repair to seal and prevent further foundation cracks.
Cove Joint Seepage – Managed with interior drainage systems.
Window Well Leaks – Properly sealed and drained to keep windows watertight.
Foundation Repair
Kankakee’s clay and loam-based soils expand and contract dramatically, which can stress your foundation. We correct:
Stair-Step Cracks – A classic sign of settling or shifting foundations.
Bowing Walls – Bowed foundation walls are usually caused by external pressure from saturated ground.
Uneven or Sloping Floors – Indicating more serious structural movement.
Crawl Space Solutions
Crawl spaces in older homes across Kankakee County often go unsealed, resulting in moisture, drafts, and pest problems. Our system includes:
Vapor Barriers – Crawl space encapsulation systems prevent moisture and soil gases from rising into the home.
Dehumidifiers – Our PermaDry air purifiers and dehumidifiers maintain healthy humidity levels year-round.
Vent Sealing – Eliminate drafts and improve energy efficiency.
Concrete Repair & Protection
Over time, concrete driveways, porches, and sidewalks sink and crack due to weather and ground movement. We provide:
Concrete Lifting – Our residential concrete lifting services restore concrete quickly and affordably.
Concrete Sealing – Protect surfaces from erosion, staining, and salt damage.
Commercial Concrete Leveling – We have commercial concrete leveling solutions ideal for retail, warehouse, and municipal properties.
