Best house leveling pros near Oglesby, IL

"The crew was courteous and efficient. They did a great job lifting the concrete in the drive up about two to three inches. The lifted both sides of the crack to level the crack. They ran into some troubles leveling the sidewalk as the limestone slurry started to lift the entire slab rather than just one side. The sidewalk is better than it was before they the began. They stopped and explained to why they stopped when it was evident that no more good progress could be made. They also lifted the front edge of the door stoop. There was a large cavity under this piece so it took a lot of material. They were able to lift this front edge about 2+ inches. They gave advice on what to use to seal the crack in the driveway once they leveled it. They do not seal the cracks themselves."

"Canâ t say enough good things. I bought an old house with some small issues with water leakage. After a good rain we would inevitably at least have some water in the basement. After 3 years, I decided it was time to have a dewatering system installed. I received quotes from three companies, not only was PIVOTAL the best value but they also were very trustworthy and made sure I understood every step of the process. On the days of the install, the crews were courteous and extremely efficient. They completed my 800 sq foot basement in a day and a half and left the area spotless. It was almost a month and a half before our first rain and I was dying to see how it performed and it worked as expected. A few days later we got 10 inches of rain and I thought for sure even this new system wouldnâ t be able to keep up. The basement was dry as a bone and there wasnâ t even a drop of water. For the first time since Iâ ve owned my house, I have furniture set up in the basement and itâ s now another comfortable living space. Additionally, I know when I look to sell this house in a few years, that I will likely recoup my investment from having a water-free inspection. My experience with PIVOTAL was nothing short of exceptional and I would recommend them to anyone looking to have foundational work done."

"Thrasher did an excellent job repairing our driveway. They leveled out the entire driveway with amazing precision, and they fixed all the gaps with an attractive sealant that blends beautifully with the concrete. All of the team members I interacted with were professional and polite. I am very pleased with the results and only wish I’d called them sooner."

"Good work in general; our basement no longer sees water for over 3 years now, which is the most important thing. But there were some real issues: The biggest issue is that USW did not adhere to local electrical codes, and did not arrange for a final inspection of the project. So we didn't find out that it wasn't to code until years later, and now it's a big hassle and minor cost to fix and get the permits. Ask your local gov yourself what you need to do for permits and inspections; don't rely on USW! USW said they would seal any foundation cracks found along the way; they didn't do this until I bugged the warranty dept about it (but they did do it eventually). USW sent someone out for the "annual checkup"... over 2 years after the install. It's a good thing they (eventually) did, because they discovered the backup battery wasn't charging. Now I know to check this stuff better myself. Prices also vary wildly and are kind of negotiable (I'd give more detail but I'm out of space)"

"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"

"Seepage Issue Prior To Work Done
We had a minor seepage issue in 3-4 areas of our basement.  Minor meaning small puddles of water develop if and only if we get heavy and long rain storms.  The house was built in 1929 and did not have a sump pump or pit.  
Down the road, we plan to finish the basement, eventually my wife and I agreed to commit to fixing the seepage issue and this is where the story starts.  
( Short story: Brian, his crew, and overall integrity is excellent, I highly recommend Crawlspace/Basement Waterproofing Solutions.  They will sell you what you need and they will make sure you are happy.)    Long Story (I recommend reading):
In the beginning......Getting Quotes
I consider myself to be above average DIY person however fixing seepage is not in my skill set.  I had no idea how much money would be required to fix our seepage issue. My expectation was $3000-$4000.
First we had US Waterproofing out.  They sent a salesman which for me is an immediate turn off.  The salesman was okay but not impressive....to be honest more then a little rough.  In the end, he gave us a quote that was $8000.00.  This was surprisingly and uncomfortably large sum of money plus in my opinion, the proposed seepage solution was in my opinion a solution for a severe seepage problem.  My opinion, up selling; selling me too much. Side note, they did offer financing options that were good.  
 (total time at least 1.5 hours)  
With the US Waterproofing quote in hand, for the next 1-2 week my wife and I continued to discuss the situation.  I was really bummed about the 8k.  Eventually, I got my head together and thankfully did not commit to US Waterproofing.  Instead we put their quote aside and called Perma-Seal.
Perma-Seal came out.  Another salesman another immediate turn off.  However, the salesman was great.  He gave a very impressive presentation that covered the company, recommended products to solve our seepage issue, and what the process would be to solve our seepage issue.  In the end, he first proposed a solution that was super over the top, I believe it was $10,000.00.  After reminding him money is tight and I want a solution for the specific areas of the basement, his second proposed solution was $7900.00.  Not good.  Too much money and my gut feeling continued, up selling; selling to much.  Side note, they did offer financing options that were good however it was simply to much money to commit to.  (total time at least 1.5 hours)
With US Waterproofing quote and Perma-Seal quote in hand and little depression (on my part), my wife and I took another 1-2 weeks to talk.  I almost committed to a quote but thankfully I did not.  Eventually I got me head together again.  I joined Angie's List.  Reviewed the basement seepage businesses in the area by rank and found Crawlspace/Basement Waterproofing Solutions ranked #2.  This was a bit exciting.  I read a few reviews and got even more excited, there was 1 or 2 reviews that seemed to reflect my situation; everyone wants to sell me cashmere when I am confident I only need cotton. 
So I called Crawlspace/Basement Waterproofing Solutions.   Brian the owner and crew chief (immediately impressed) came over to inspect and propose a solution/quote. He gave us a quote for exactly what we needed and it was quick and easy.   Side note, I did tell him I had the other two quotes but I did not show or tell him the numbers and did not tell him our money is tight.  His quote $2800.00.  WOW!  (total time: 40 min)
My wife and I were so happy however I was a bit worried, two businesses quote me $8000 and this guy wants $2800?!?!.  To be clear, the $2800 was for installing a sump pump it, sump pump, the drainage system from pit to outside, drainboards on the walls, trench and install drain tile inside basement, concrete the drain tile inside basement, and cementing my ugly/nasty crawlspace.  His work comes with a warranty for the life of the home and is transferable to the next owner. 
After committing to Brian, 4 days later he arrived with his crew as scheduled.  The crew completed the project in 1.5 days as planned.  During the 1.5 days I closely monitored the crew's work and chatted with them.  Additional, I had a few long chats with Brian.  The entire team is excellent.  Happy, polite, personable, and hard working.  I was very impressed with the team.  When the work was completed, Brian called be twice to ensure we where happy with the work.  There was a very minor cosmetic issue that I mentioned.  Brian immediately setup a guy to come out in 1-2 business days.......the minor issue was fixed (no charge).
Since the completion, we have had 3 long extra heavy rain storms.  No water in basement!  YES!  Wife and I are very happy.
Additional Notes About Brian and His Guys:
Extra work was done and we were not charged.
Brian is personable, 100% kept all promises, sold us what we needed, fun, and maintains a hard working and happy team.
Call Brian!  Do it!

"Great. Phone agent was extremely helpful and led me to purchase policies for two houses with different needs. For 6 years at a very reasonable price."

"I selected this company because of the other postings on Angie's list.  Michael called back later the same day and apoligized for not calling back sooner.  He came out the next day, in the rain, to look at my roof and called me the next morning with the estimate and options.  He was very honest and up front abou the options and the cost.  Because my house is for sale, he made suggestions and discussed the pros and cons.  When he found out I had an open house scheduled the next day, he rearranged some things and called back to say he could do if later in the day and have everything ready for the open house.  And then he had to work in the rain to get it done.  Mike went above and beyond being when he and his crew helped my son load furniture into both my son's and his truck and he actually helped move some things to our new house because it was on his way home!  Michael is a very personable and caring person and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is willing to go the extra mile and get things done professionally and timely.  This was a wonderful experience for me and Iam very pleased with the results.
