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
Basement Waterproofing, Wall Support & Window Wells – Naperville, IL
In Naperville, a homeowner reached out to our team after noticing moisture in their basement and horizontal cracks forming along one of the foundation walls. These issues were early indicators of hydrostatic pressure and wall movement, common problems in homes with aging foundations.
To address water intrusion, we installed a comprehensive waterproofing system that collects and redirects groundwater away from the foundation, keeping the basement permanently dry. For the bowing wall, we reinforced the structure using the PowerBrace™ Wall Support System. This system utilizes heavy-duty steel I-beams secured with specialized brackets at the floor joists and footing, applying continuous, adjustable pressure to restore the wall to its proper position gradually.
Additionally, we installed new window wells to improve drainage and let more natural light into the basement, creating a brighter, healthier space.
With these combined solutions, the home’s foundation is now stabilized, dry, and protected against future damage, providing lasting peace of mind and improved structural integrity for the homeowner.
Foundation Repair & Helical Pier Installation – Burr Ridge, IL
In Burr Ridge, a homeowner contacted us after noticing their patio was uneven. This sign pointed to settlement issues caused by unstable soil and poor drainage around the home’s perimeter.
Our team conducted a thorough inspection to identify the areas of concern and determine the best course of action. To stabilize the structure, we installed a series of helical piers beneath the affected sections of the foundation. These piers were driven deep into stable soil, providing the strength and support needed to secure the home’s foundation permanently.
To further protect the property, we extended the home’s downspouts to direct rainwater away from the foundation, reducing hydrostatic pressure and helping prevent future soil movement.
With the foundation stabilized and drainage improved, the homeowner now has a secure, long-term solution that protects their investment and ensures lasting structural stability.
Foundation Piering & Crack Repair – Chicago, IL
In Chicago, a homeowner noticed signs of foundation settlement, including visible cracks along the basement walls and doors that no longer closed properly. Concerned about the long-term stability of their home, they reached out to our team for a permanent repair solution.
After a detailed inspection, we determined that sections of the foundation had begun to settle due to shifting soil beneath the home. To restore structural stability, we installed a series of steel foundation piers beneath the affected areas. These piers were driven deep into stable soil strata, allowing us to lift and secure the foundation back to its proper position.
Once the structure was stabilized, our team repaired the foundation wall cracks using an advanced injection system designed to permanently seal and waterproof the damaged areas.
With the foundation now stabilized and cracks sealed, the homeowner can feel confident their home is protected against further settlement and water intrusion. The project not only improved the structural integrity of the home but also provided lasting peace of mind.
