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.

Crawl Space Insulation and Waterproofing – Naperville, IL

In Naperville, a homeowner wanted to make their home more comfortable and energy-efficient. Their crawl space had become a problem area — cold, damp, and allowing drafts to move up through the floors.

Our team began by encapsulating and waterproofing the crawl space to eliminate moisture concerns and protect against future water intrusion. Once the space was dry, we installed durable insulation panels along the crawl space walls to create a consistent thermal barrier. We also applied spray foam insulation to the rim joists, effectively sealing gaps and preventing heat loss.

With both waterproofing and insulation working together, the crawl space is now clean, dry, and energy-efficient. The homeowner noticed warmer floors, lower utility costs, and a healthier environment throughout the home.

Attic Insulation in Chicago

In Chicago, a homeowner was struggling to keep their home comfortable year-round. During the winter, cold drafts crept in from above, and in the summer, the second floor became unbearably hot. After years of high energy bills and uneven temperatures, they discovered the root of the problem — their attic was poorly insulated and leaking conditioned air.

Our team stepped in to upgrade their home’s efficiency and comfort with a complete attic insulation installation. We began by safely removing the old, compacted insulation and sealing air leaks around recessed lighting, vents, and attic access points. Then, we installed high-performance blown-in insulation to meet modern energy standards and maximize coverage across every corner of the attic.

The result is a noticeably more comfortable home, with consistent temperatures throughout every season. The homeowner immediately saw lower energy bills, improved indoor air quality, and a quieter, more efficient living space — all thanks to a properly insulated attic designed for Chicago’s demanding climate.

Egress Window Installation in Chicago

In Chicago, a homeowner wanted to transform their dark, unfinished basement into a livable space but faced a major obstacle — a lack of proper emergency exits and natural light. This was more than just a comfort issue; it was a safety and code compliance concern.

To solve this, our team installed a high-quality egress window system designed to meet local building codes while improving both light and ventilation. The process involved carefully excavating the exterior, cutting through the foundation wall, and installing a durable, watertight window well with proper drainage to prevent future water issues.

The result is a brighter, safer basement with a clean, professional finish. The new egress window not only increases safety and functionality but also adds value and comfort to the home.
