Welcome to The Real Seal! Owning a home in the Chicagoland area comes with its challenges, and we recognize how important it is to maintain your property.

Our Services
Foundation Repair
We specialize in foundation repair services tailored to resolve structural issues affecting your home’s foundation. Our offerings include underpinning to reinforce the foundation with additional support and the installation of carbon fiber straps to ensure lasting stability.
Basement Waterproofing
Our comprehensive basement waterproofing methods are designed to prevent water intrusion. We offer various solutions, including interior and exterior waterproofing, drainage system installations, and sump pump setups. A dry basement not only improves your living space but also enhances your property’s value and boosts indoor air quality.
Concrete Leveling Using Polyjacking
Concrete leveling is an economical approach to restoring uneven surfaces, including driveways, patios, and sidewalks. This process involves drilling small holes and injecting polyurethane foam to lift the slab back to its original level. It’s a quick solution, usually completed within hours, allowing you to use the area right away.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing the area beneath your home with a vapor barrier and insulation. This typically includes covering the ground and walls with durable polyethylene, sealing any vents or openings, and sometimes installing a dehumidifier to control moisture levels. This process helps to prevent moisture intrusion, reducing the risk of mold and mildew. It can also improve indoor air quality, alleviate health concerns such as allergies and respiratory issues, and protect your home’s structural integrity from wood rot and pest infestations.
