Welcome to The Real Seal! As a homeowner in the Chicagoland area, you know the unique challenges of maintaining your property.

Our Services
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair services offer a range of solutions to address and rectify issues with your home’s structural integrity. This includes techniques like underpinning, which strengthens the existing foundation by adding support beneath it, and the use of specialized equipment like carbon fiber straps to secure the foundation.
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing services use a variety of techniques and materials to prevent water from penetrating your basement. Solutions include interior and exterior waterproofing, drainage systems, and sump pumps. A dry basement offers long-term benefits such as increased usable living or storage space, enhanced property value, and improved indoor air quality.
Concrete Leveling Using Polyjacking
Concrete leveling corrects uneven concrete surfaces like driveways, patios, garage floors, and sidewalks. The process involves drilling small holes into the sunken concrete slab and injecting polyurethane foam to lift the slab back to its original position(or as close as possible). This quicker and cost-effective method allows immediate use of the area.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation seals off the crawl space beneath a home with a vapor barrier and insulation. This process includes covering the ground and walls with heavy-duty polyethylene, sealing vents or openings, and sometimes adding a dehumidifier to control moisture levels.
Encapsulation helps prevent moisture from entering the crawl space, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth, improving indoor air quality, and protecting the structural integrity of the home by preventing wood rot and pest infestations.
