Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my basement needs waterproofing?
Signs include water stains, musty odors, mold, efflorescence, cracks in walls or floors, and visible moisture after rain. If you notice any of these, it’s time for an inspection.
What is the best method for basement waterproofing in Chicago homes?
It depends on your home’s foundation and the source of moisture. We offer interior drainage, exterior waterproofing, sump pumps, vapor barriers, and more—customized for long-term protection.
How much does basement waterproofing cost in Chicago, IL?
Prices vary based on the size of your basement, the type of solution needed, and the severity of the issue. We offer free on-site evaluations and clear, upfront pricing.
How long does it take to waterproof a basement?
Most basement waterproofing jobs can be completed in 1–3 days. Larger or more complex projects may take slightly longer—we’ll give you a clear timeline upfront.
Do you offer a warranty on waterproofing services?
Yes! We provide long-term warranties on both workmanship and materials, so you can feel confident in your investment.
Is basement waterproofing covered by homeowners insurance?
Most insurance policies don’t cover water damage due to seepage unless it’s caused by a sudden event. We recommend checking with your insurance provider.
Can I waterproof my basement myself?
While DIY fixes might offer temporary relief, they often fail to solve the root problem. Professional waterproofing ensures long-term protection and increases your home’s value.
What areas do you serve around Chicago?
We serve Chicago and surrounding suburbs including Oak Park, Cicero, Evanston, Des Plaines, Schaumburg, and more. See full list here.
What’s the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?
Interior waterproofing manages water once it enters the home (e.g., French drains, sump pumps), while exterior waterproofing stops water before it gets in. We’ll recommend the right solution after inspection.
