"Very accommodating company. Responded to all my questions and concerns, treated my home with the utmost respect and left it clean. The room was a bedroom carpeted by prior owners. When I removed the carpet, it uncovered a nightmare. The room used to be part of the garage. The previous owners left the oil spills. dirt, and cracks and just covered it with carpet. Soooooo disgusting. Perma seal ground out the cracks, pumped poly foam underneath for support, sealed the cracks, ground them to level them, and it even looks like they tried to clean up the disgusting oil spills left by previous owners. (I'll be doing additional scrubbing). I will wait for spring thaw to assess its waterproofness before I order my new floor. See before and after shots."

"When your basement floods it is a very stressful time and I am so grateful that the first phone call I made was to US Waterproofing. Jose came out right away and quickly diagnosed what happened (Sump Pump failure) and then took me through all the options -- Good, Better, Best to fix it. I ended up going with the Better option. They scheduled the work quickly and I was very happy with the professionalism of the 3 installation people that came out led by Mauricio who installed a new sump pump and a battery backup sump pump so that I have insurance in case the main sump pump fails or there is a power issue. Could not be more satisfied with US Waterproofing. I highly recommend them!"

"Acculevel did a super job for us! We have a house that was built in 1902 with a small crawl space. They fixed ALL our problems and did NOT have to tear up the floors. Our floors are level and stable. They were professional and neat. I would hire them for any basement or foundation issues you wont be sorry! 10 stars to the crew"

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"Chris Huber was the construction manager for finishing our full basement and for major remodeling in the rest of our house. He worked with us for about 4 months throughout all stages of the process, from planning to completion. He was extremely professional and innovative in his management of our project. We are extremely satisfied with the work down on our house (and it was a major project!). Chris listened to our ideas, contacted and worked with all the trades working on our house, and made sure that everything was completed to our liking. He would meet with us several times during this process to go over the work and to make sure that everything was going well. He responded to our requests immediately and did not hesitate to complete some of the tasks himself if needed. We give him our highest recommendation possible. He will ensure that quality work is done on your construction project."

"Quality windows were installed in my garage. Contractor matched the exterior painting perfectly. He fixed the bannister and wood planks on my deck using like kind and quality materials. He also secured a soffit where wasps had entry to my attic. He tiled areas in my lower level that required new tile after a drain tile contractor did their work. In addition to tile work that needed to be done he replaced the base boards. His work was professional and he went to all lengths to perform quality work with quality product. This work was done over the course of a few months, approximately, March through July 2019"

House Leveling questions, answered by experts

Homeowners in Dekalb often underestimate the importance of seasonal timing, as work is limited to April through October. The need for a proper soil assessment is also overlooked, given Dekalb's expansive clay soil. Additionally, planning for proper drainage on the area's flat terrain and understanding potential permit requirements from the City of Dekalb for driveways are crucial steps that require professional guidance.

Helpful?

Completing a concrete leveling project significantly enhances safety during icy Dekalb winters by eliminating tripping hazards on walkways and driveways. It also improves drainage, preventing water from pooling and freezing near your foundation, which is critical with the local clay soil. This not only reduces maintenance burdens related to snow and ice but also improves accessibility for all household members and visitors.

Helpful?

After completing a concrete leveling project in Dekalb, it’s vital to prepare for winter by applying a sealer before the freeze-thaw cycles begin. You should also monitor drainage after spring snowmelt and seal any new hairline cracks to prevent water infiltration. Maintaining gutters to manage the area's precipitation and scheduling annual inspections are key follow-up actions for long-term stability and performance.

Helpful?

For a concrete leveling project in Dekalb, your input is crucial for several decisions. You will need to select the best method, such as polyurethane foam injection or mudjacking, based on soil conditions. You'll also coordinate the project timing, grant access through landscaping, and decide whether to add drainage improvements. Finally, you will choose finishing and sealing options appropriate for Dekalb's harsh winters.

Helpful?

In Illinois, signs that a previous concrete leveling job needs attention include recurring settlement within a few years, which suggests the expansive clay soil was not properly addressed. Watch for new cracks appearing in geometric patterns or any water pooling after rain. Gaps opening between the slab and your home's foundation or visible frost heave damage after winter also indicate failure.
