SolidBase is a family-owned team of waterproofing and foundation specialists. For over 20 years we’ve found the real cause of wet basements and structural problems — and fixed them for good.
SolidBase started in 2004 when our founder, Robert Miller, grew tired of watching homeowners get sold expensive repairs they never needed. He began with one truck, a small crew and a simple rule: find the real cause first, then fix it properly.
Two decades and more than 8,500 homes later, that rule hasn’t changed. We’ve grown into a team of certified technicians, engineers and customer-care specialists, but we still run like a family business — showing up on time, explaining every option plainly and standing behind every repair.
“A dry basement isn’t a product we sell. It’s a promise we keep for as long as you own your home.”
A family crew opens its doors in Chicago, specializing in wet basements and sump systems.
Steel piers, wall anchors and crack injection join our services as customers ask for more.
Every repair is now covered in writing and transferable to the next owner. Crawl space work begins.
In-house structural reviews make every plan clearer, safer and easier to trust.
24/7 emergency response and 0% financing make help easier to reach than ever.

They found the cause in twenty minutes and showed me photos of exactly what to fix. No upsell, no pressure — just an honest, fair quote.
Our 1950s home had a bowing wall. Their engineer walked us through the options, and the crew finished in two days and left the place spotless.
Five years after the install we’re still bone dry through every storm. The warranty paperwork was in my hands before the crew left the driveway.
I called at 6 PM about water coming through the floor and a technician was at my door that night. That’s why I recommend them to everyone.
