Chicagoland Waterproofing

If not properly drained, excess water under the structure may create pressure and cause water to find its way through small cracks and into your basement. If your neighbor's land stands at a higher elevation than yours, you may be experiencing problems with excessive moisture on your property. Low spots in your yard can pool water. Excess water in the soil under your basement floor can sometimes create pressure, causing water to find its way through cracks and onto your basement floor. Window wells, if not properly drained, can collect water, allowing it to enter through the seam between the window and the concrete stem wall.

Preserve your home's integrity by preventing water from accumulating in your yard and near the foundation of your home, keeping your basement dry and safe.

A frequent problem in your basement are foundation cracks, commonly caused by the house settling on the foundation or the ground beneath it. Foundation cracks are important to take care of because it is an entry point for water and ultimately causes overall structural damage to your home. Hairline cracks to 1/8 width or larger cracks can be a concern for water seepage and basement leaks, creating a damp basement that leads to mold and mildew and a variety of health problems. Major foundation cracks introduce other structural issues to the home such as cracks to the house walls, corners of doorways and around windows.

Water damage or flooding to your crawlspace can cause a variety of structural problems and health concerns. Excess humidity caused by the evaporation of standing water or wet soil conditions in your crawlspace will create mold and bacteria growth on the wooden floor joists and the bottom of sub flooring. Crawlspace water can also cause the insulation to lose it's R Value or even fall down. We have seen hardwood floor cupping and buckling when crawlspace moisture is high. In addition, mold growth in the living area can occur, especially where the walls and floor meet.
