Basement waterproofing and foundation repair company. Family owned since 1957 with over 300,000 dry basements. Free consultations. Lifetime warranties available. Award winning company.

"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)"

We give a warranty on all work and labor and offer a design studio to plan your projects. Our fully insured personnel are friendly and respectful, treating your home with the care it deserves.

"Would HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND. Requests to discuss significant concerns regarding our project went ignored and were only acknowledged after we filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau & IL Atty General due to some of their practices. Be aware of your rights and would strongly advise you to document all encounters and request all details be finalized in written documentation no matter how small it may seem at the time. Lastly, know your rights to request a Sworn Statement (A document that lists the contractors and suppliers that provide material or labor to a construction project. It includes information about who is owed money, how much they are owed, and the remaining balance on their contract.) Consider a contractor that will not turn an ear to hearing difficult concerns and will, instead, choose to address things head on in a professional manner versus have to fight to be heard."

For 18 years I was an Outside Sales Representative for nearly all aspects for the building industry. Part of my success was the understanding of how these products worked, were installed and repaired. I have been servicing, repairing and installing every aspect of a home and yard for as long as I can remember. I will work with every customer to meet their needs for their project. Pricing is always fair and negotiable. Since I have sold most everything we would need for your project, I can also help you get the materials at a great price.

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

Underpinning is a type of foundation repair in which a repair specialist installs piers under your foundation to provide additional support for the concrete and structure above. Foundation repair is an umbrella term that includes many other repair methods, including foundation crack repair, waterproofing, cosmetic repair, concrete block wall stabilization, and more.

Yes. Water can penetrate through a concrete foundation wall. This can happen whether or not you have cracks, as concrete is a porous material. You’ll want to take steps to waterproof your basement or crawl space.

Most houses are expected to settle over time, but foundation sinking of more than a few inches or uneven sinking of more than an inch for every 20 feet is cause for concern. Any significant or uneven sinking should be assessed by a professional to determine the cause and perform any necessary repairs. 

It’s crucial to hire a foundation company that’s professional, experienced, and reliable, starting by choosing local experts with at least five to ten years of experience with your type of project. Local foundation companies will understand the soil and weather conditions in your area and can carry out the best solution based on your property characteristics. You should ask for a list of customer references, read through online reviews, and check for customer complaints and unresolved issues filed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) before hiring.

Many horizontal cracks in home foundations result from water and soil pressure from outside of the building or from a footing that is shifting. Under those circumstances, horizontal cracks are a structural problem that requires repair before they become worse and more difficult to fix. However, in very specific cases, thin horizontal cracks may simply be a cosmetic blemish due to concrete shrinkage.
