"Called company on Monday and got an appointment for an inspection on Wednesday. That following Monday, the technician arrived and went through each step is sealing off the concrete foundation to the water leak. The fix worked well and was put to the test with the recent record rains. Not one drop of water came into the basement."

"I have worked with Jeff Kowalik from Perma Seal for many years. As a Realtor, I have recommended them for all kinds of jobs. The work I have seen them do ranges from filling cracks to drain tile systems to vapor linings and even straightening out a bowed wall on a home. I have a cinder block basement in my home built in 1921. In order to keep moisture and ultimately mold away, Perma Seal installed a vapor barrier, a membrane, around the whole inside of the basement. And then with their suggestion of the dehumidifier, the basement is ready for finishing. First, their sales department is terrific. I use Jeff Kowalik, and he is knowledgeable and instills confidence with his knowledge of what is needed. The workers are on time, organized and get the job done. My personal experience was a 10+. I would highly recommend Jeff Kowalik & Perma Seal for any of your waterproofing needs."

"My husband and I had a wonderful experience with The Real Seal in July 2024. They fixed a bowing foundation and waterproofed the basement for future finishing. Their team was prompt, respectful, organized and thoroughly educated us on the drainage tile system, installation process and prevention. Thank you, Real Seal for being the flawless first step to our dream basement/family space!"

"Boris, the owner of the company, he is very knowledgeable, sincere and honest. He provided an accurate diagnosis for the cause of the water problem in my basement. His team did an excellent job fixing the water issue in the basement. His approach is complete and wholistic including identified the water down sprout and gutter issue that cause the water sipped into the basement through the outside wall and foundation etc. Since the completion of the work and after each severe thunderstorm we always checked whether the water comes back to the basement, and no more water comes into the basement. Boris has solved a nearly 20 years water headache in our basement. We ended up asking him to do several other side jobs around the house. His cost is also reasonable. We highly recommend any one with basement water issue to hire Boris."

"All Pro Painters were just excellent. They were on top of things from the start. They gave me a really fair quote, and weâ re able to start my project shortly after. I had a whole demo and remodel done in the basement, so it was quite an undertaking. The guys came out and worked hard. They installed new moldings on the floor and ceiling. I had them paint the whole basement as well, they made me feel really confident they could get the job done and they executed it extremely well. The place looks amazing! These guys are full service! Had them come back for a smaller bathroom project, same quality and expert work as the basement. They also did a beautiful job with the bath tub tiles. Couldnâ t be happier. Thanks All Pro!"

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Harwood Heights, IL

The most affordable way to waterproof your basement is with interior methods like waterproof paint, costing between $1 and $8 per square foot, or silicate concrete sealers priced at $4 to $6 per square foot. However, these solutions are only suitable for certain issues. If your basement moisture is due to more serious problems like a cracked foundation, you'll need more extensive (and costly) repairs.

Absolutely! Waterproofing your basement is a smart investment that can increase your home's value. By keeping your basement dry and free of moisture problems, you protect your home's structural integrity and make it more appealing to potential buyers. Plus, taking proactive measures now can prevent costly water damage repairs down the line.

The time required to waterproof a basement depends on the selected method. Some approaches to interior waterproofing, like paint or sealant, can be completed within a day. Installing new drains or weeping tiles will need at least two to three days of labor. Any forms of exterior waterproofing that require you to excavate land will require an additional three days of work to prepare the ground.

Yes, basement waterproofing can significantly increase your home's value. A dry, leak-free basement is a strong selling point for potential buyers, enhancing your property's desirability and market price. Investing in professional waterproofing not only protects your home's structural integrity but also ensures a healthier living environment by preventing mold and mildew growth.

Waterproofing both the interior and exterior of your basement offers the best protection against moisture. Exterior waterproofing stops water from penetrating your foundation, while interior methods manage any moisture that does enter. If you must choose one, exterior waterproofing is generally more effective, as it prevents water from reaching your home's interior in the first place.
