Welcome to The Real Seal! Owning a home in the Chicagoland area comes with distinct challenges, and we recognize the importance of maintaining your property. Whether you’re dealing with foundation cracks, basement leaks, crawl space moisture, or concrete issues, our experienced team is here to provide long-lasting and reliable solutions.
Our Services
Foundation Repair
We offer foundation repair solutions tailored to address and resolve structural issues with your home’s foundation. Our services include underpinning to enhance the foundation’s strength by adding support beneath it, as well as carbon fiber straps to reinforce the structure, ensuring long-term stability.
Basement Waterproofing
Our comprehensive basement waterproofing techniques effectively prevent water intrusion. We provide a range of solutions, including interior and exterior waterproofing, drainage system installation, and sump pump setup. A dry basement not only enhances your living space but also boosts property value and improves indoor air quality.
Concrete Leveling Using Polyjacking
Concrete leveling is a cost-effective method to restore uneven concrete surfaces such as driveways, patios, and sidewalks. This process involves drilling small holes and injecting polyurethane foam to lift the slab back to its original position. It is quick and typically completed within hours, allowing you to use the area immediately.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing off the area beneath your home with a vapor barrier and insulation. This typically includes covering the ground and walls with robust polyethylene, sealing vents or openings, and sometimes adding a dehumidifier to control moisture levels. Encapsulating the crawl space helps prevent moisture intrusion, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth. This improvement can enhance indoor air quality and mitigate health issues like allergies and respiratory problems while also protecting the home’s structural integrity by preventing wood rot and pest infestations.
