The sump pump is the primary defense against the buildup of water in your basement and crawl space. Water is drained into the sump pit via your Drain Tile System and then ejected safely away from the home. It is important to make sure your sump pump is working properly and to replace the pump before it breaks down. A reliable sump pump is the best way to keep your basement dry. Flooding can lead to serious mold problems, to be sure, but a damaged foundation can have adverse effects on the rest of your house.

Foundation cracks are a very common but serious matter that you may have to deal with as a homeowner. As the cracks are left to sit and continue to get bigger, water leaks may eventually form and create a bigger and more expensive issue. Typically, a crack that is larger than 1/16 inch can be a potential threat as water, changes in temperature, and other factors can definitely widen the crack. You also can be susceptible to insects and other pests that you don't want inside of your home. When you face a significant issue like this, you'll want to consider foundation crack repair services in order to protect your home in Chicago, IL.

I really trust this company. I had a person come out from Perma Seal and give me an estimate. He said I did not have a leak from a foundation crack.

These guys are great! We just had interior drain tile installed and I can't say enough good things about Patricio and his crew. Luckily we.

Yesterday the guys at Real Seal finished a three day project on our basement. It rained, even stormed on Monday afternoon in spots - these guys didn't.
