Foundation Crack Repair in Chicago
In Chicago, a homeowner reached out after discovering a large foundation crack that was allowing water to seep into their basement during heavy rain. What started as a visible crack quickly became a concern for both moisture intrusion and long-term foundation health.
Our team addressed the issue by repairing the crack directly at the source. After exposing the affected area, we thoroughly cleaned and prepared the crack before sealing it with professional-grade materials designed to permanently block water entry. The repair was reinforced to ensure durability and protect the foundation against future movement and Chicago’s harsh weather conditions.
The result is a secure, watertight foundation and restored peace of mind for the homeowner. By sealing the large crack properly, we stopped water intrusion, prevented further damage, and extended the life of the home’s foundation.
Attic Insulation in Naperville
In Naperville, a homeowner was dealing with uneven temperatures and rising energy bills—classic signs of an underperforming attic. Years of old, compacted insulation and unsealed air gaps were allowing conditioned air to escape, making it harder to keep the home comfortable in every season.
This video captures our team in the middle of a full attic insulation upgrade. We began by removing the old insulation to expose the attic floor and identify air leaks around penetrations, top plates, and access points. After thoroughly air sealing the attic to stop unwanted airflow, we installed fresh, high-performance blown-in insulation, ensuring even coverage and proper depth throughout the space.
The result is a cleaner, tighter, and far more efficient attic. With air leaks sealed and new insulation in place, the home is now better protected against Naperville’s temperature extremes—improving comfort, reducing energy loss, and setting the foundation for long-term savings.
Foundation Crack Repair in Naperville
In Naperville, a homeowner noticed recurring moisture along one section of their basement wall, especially after heavy rain. What started as a small concern quickly became a bigger issue when a vertical foundation crack on the exterior of the home allowed water to seep in below grade.
To address the problem at its source, our team performed an exterior foundation crack repair that required excavating down to the bottom of the foundation footing. Once the foundation wall was fully exposed, we cleaned and prepared the crack, then sealed it using professional-grade epoxy injection designed to permanently stop water intrusion.
The result is a dry, protected foundation and lasting peace of mind for the homeowner. By repairing the crack from the outside, we eliminated the water entry point entirely and reinforced the foundation against future moisture issues—restoring the home’s structural integrity and protecting it from further damage.
Foundation Pier Installation for Settlement Repair – Burr Ridge, IL
In Burr Ridge, a homeowner contacted our team after noticing signs of foundation settlement, including significant stair-step cracks forming along the exterior brickwork of their home. These cracks were a clear indication that the foundation was shifting and required immediate attention to prevent further structural damage.
After completing a detailed inspection, we designed a repair plan centered on stabilizing the foundation at its source. Our team installed a series of foundation piers beneath the affected areas of the home. These piers were driven deep into stable soil to provide permanent support and restore the foundation to a level position. As the home was stabilized, the stair-step cracks closed significantly, allowing the homeowner to move forward with additional exterior repairs.
With the foundation properly supported, the home is now structurally secure, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing the settlement issue has been permanently addressed.
Sidewalk Removal & Replacement – Chicago, IL
In Chicago, a homeowner contacted our team about severely damaged concrete around the front of their home. The sidewalk had deteriorated beyond repair, creating safety concerns and detracting from the home’s curb appeal. After a thorough evaluation, we determined that concrete leveling was not a viable option due to the extent of the damage and underlying conditions.
To provide a long-term solution, our team removed the existing sidewalk and installed a brand-new concrete walkway around the front of the house. The new sidewalk was properly graded and poured to ensure durability, safe footing, and proper water runoff away from the foundation.
With the damaged concrete replaced, the homeowner now has a clean, stable, and safe sidewalk that enhances both accessibility and appearance while delivering a lasting solution built to withstand Chicago’s climate.
Attic Insulation in Chicago
In Chicago, a homeowner wanted to improve energy efficiency and comfort without sacrificing usable attic storage space. Unlike a standard blown-in insulation project, this attic was designed for access and storage, requiring a more customized insulation approach.
Our team removed the existing batt insulation and replaced it with a new, properly fitted insulation system. To enhance performance, we installed our foam insulation panels throughout the attic. These panels provide added air sealing and a radiant barrier, helping reduce heat transfer while maintaining a clean, open layout suitable for storage.
By combining updated batt insulation with foam insulation panels, the homeowner now benefits from improved temperature control, reduced air leakage, and a more efficient attic — all while preserving valuable storage space. This tailored solution delivers comfort, efficiency, and long-term performance without compromise
