"Called company on Monday and got an appointment for an inspection on Wednesday. That following Monday, the technician arrived and went through each step is sealing off the concrete foundation to the water leak. The fix worked well and was put to the test with the recent record rains. Not one drop of water came into the basement."

"Marc responded quickly to our call for an estimate, helped us pick out paint colors and provided a very fair estimate for his services.  His work on the exterior and interior were excellent and the front door now provides good curb appeal for our house.  He cleaned up all supplies and left the house in clean condition - I just had to vacuum up some dust in the bathroom from his sanding of the walls.  I would not hesitate to use his services again in the future for either exterior or interior work"

"Our house had a water damage that ruined much of the drywall and floor on the first floor and the basement. For such a big repair job, I carefully looked up the reviews and recommendations from Angie's list and talked to 3 contractors that have the highest ratings. AOM was one of the three. David, the owner of AOM, quickly came to our house, assessed the damage, explained to me what need to be done, showed great empathy to our loss and current situation (having to stay in hotel waiting to go back to our house), and put a very competitive bid (about 2/3 the bid of another contractor). We picked them and signed the contract. AOM uses Trello, a cloud-based project tracking system that software companies often use, to effectively and promptly communicate task description and updates to all workers and house owners. AOM workers are professional, hard working, and friendly. For such a big project, expectedly there were some hiccups and AOM had to juggle ours with their other on-going projects. David kindly explained to me various aspects of the repair work and promptly fixed any faults that we identified. I became to completely trust David's professional skill and that he would treat our house like his. Several nights and weekends David came to work late so that we could move back to normal life as soon as possible. In the end, we are very happy with our remodeled house. I sincerely recommend David and AOM for any house remodeling and restoration job."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Waterproofing your basement in Champaign increases comfort by reducing humidity, preventing mold, and improving indoor air quality—especially during humid summers and cold winters. A dry basement offers safer storage, protects against storm flooding, and can even allow for finished living space. In neighborhoods near the University, waterproofing can make basements suitable for legal rentals or home offices, adding year-round usability.

Helpful?

Champaign’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy spring rains, and humid summers put extra stress on basements. Exterior waterproofing is best scheduled from May to October, before the ground freezes. Our region’s clay soil and fluctuating water table demand robust drainage systems and flexible planning to handle sudden storms. Addressing these local weather patterns helps prevent recurring basement leaks and long-term foundation issues.

Helpful?

Basement waterproofing in Champaign can impact electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems. For example, installing a sump pump may require an electrical panel upgrade, particularly in older homes. Sealing the basement can change airflow, so it’s important to coordinate with existing dehumidifiers or radon mitigation systems. If you rely on well water or have in-floor heating, ensure waterproofing plans won’t interfere with utility lines or foundation drainage.

Helpful?

The age and structure of your Champaign home directly influence waterproofing choices. Older homes with limestone or brick foundations may need specialized sealing methods. Properties with flat yards or mature trees often require enhanced drainage solutions. If your home is near the University of Illinois or within a historic district, local restrictions or unique infrastructure may affect which waterproofing techniques are allowed or most effective.

Helpful?

In Champaign, if you notice water pooling along basement walls after heavy rain or spring thaw, especially near Boneyard Creek, it’s a strong sign you need basement waterproofing. Horizontal cracks, bowing walls, or musty odors often indicate hydrostatic pressure or persistent basement moisture. However, minor hairline cracks or summertime condensation may only require foundation repairs or a dehumidifier rather than full waterproofing.
