Bungalows on the Northwest Side, two flats in Logan Square, greystones, brick ranches out in the suburbs. Different homes, same soil, and largely the same set of problems repeating themselves across the city.
That experience is the reason we approach a wet basement differently than a general contractor would. We are not guessing at what is causing it. We have seen what Chicago clay does to a foundation over decades, what a hundred year old clay drain tile looks like when we dig it up, and which repairs are still holding twenty years later.
Every job starts the same way. We inspect the basement, the foundation, the exterior grade and the drainage, photograph what we find, and explain it plainly. Then you get a written estimate before anything starts.
Reliable foundation and structural solutions designed to protect your home and provide lasting strength.

Built on quality workmanship and lasting solutions, helping you enjoy greater comfort and peace of mind for years to come.
Water in a Chicago basement is almost never a leak. It is groundwater being pushed in by pressure from saturated clay outside your walls. Sealing a crack from the inside does not relieve that pressure, it moves it. We solve the drainage problem underneath, which is why our work holds.
Interior or exterior waterproofing. Piers or drainage. Repair or monitor. These are different jobs at very different prices, and we will tell you honestly which one your home needs, including when the answer is that it can wait.
Waterproofing, structural foundation work, masonry, chimneys, porches, roofing and drywall under one company. No coordinating three contractors, no gaps where one trade blames another.
Licensed, bonded and insured. Work photographed on completion and warranted. The point of doing it properly is that you do not have to call anyone about it again.
