Featured project
Flooded 1960s basement, dry for good
Every spring this Chicago ranch took on an inch of water. We traced it to hydrostatic pressure at the wall-floor joint and installed a complete interior system, finishing in two days without digging up the yard.
The problem
Seasonal flooding and wet block walls
Our fix
Drain tile, sump pump and wall sealing
- No standing water after three heavy storms
- Humidity brought down and musty smell gone
- Battery backup pump for power outages
