Crawl Space Encapsulation and Rim Joist Insulation in Chicago

In Chicago, a homeowner contacted us about her damp, musty crawl space that was contributing to structural concerns and rising energy costs. What began as a simple draintile installation quickly evolved into a full crawl space encapsulation project. Using our CleanSpace® Encapsulation System, we transformed the space into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment. To complete the upgrade, we also insulated the rim joists—sealing a major source of air leaks and heat loss. The result? A brighter, healthier crawl space with superior protection against moisture, mold, and energy inefficiency. This transformation highlights our dedication to providing lasting, high-quality crawl space repair solutions.

Underground Downspout Extensions in Chicago

In Chicago, a homeowner was dealing with persistent water pooling near their foundation every time it rained. The excess moisture wasn’t just an inconvenience—it posed a serious risk of basement seepage and long-term foundation damage. To protect the home and improve drainage, our team installed durable underground downspout extensions.

Using precision equipment, we buried a series of high-quality, clog-resistant drainpipes that redirect roof runoff safely away from the foundation. Each extension was carefully graded to ensure proper water flow and long-term reliability. The result? A clean, effective system that eliminates surface water issues and keeps the home’s foundation dry and protected.

With this expert solution, the homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their property is better protected against Chicago’s heavy rains and freeze-thaw cycles—one more way Perma-Seal helps homeowners preserve the safety and value of their homes.
