Foundation, Crawl Space, & Basement Waterproofing Contractors in Cicero

A homeowner in Cicero needed a full moisture management solution to protect their crawl space from water intrusion, humidity, and long-term structural damage. Inspector Casey recommended a layered system combining drainage, encapsulation, and climate control.

Foreman Emilio and his crew began by removing debris from the crawl space to prepare for installation. They installed a CleanSpace encapsulation system to seal out ground moisture, paired with an EZ-Drainage system to direct water efficiently. A SuperSump pump system was added, featuring a cast iron pump, TripleSafe liner, airtight lid with floor drain, CleanPump Stand, WaterWatch alarm, and UltraSump backup for uninterrupted protection.

To prevent discharge line issues, IceGuard was installed to handle freezing or clogging, and a LawnScape outlet was placed at the end of a 10-foot exterior discharge line to redirect water safely away from the foundation.

For humidity control, the crew installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier with a duct kit to ensure even air distribution throughout the crawl space. SilverGlo insulation and Rim Joist insulation were added to improve energy efficiency and comfort.

This comprehensive system delivers long-term protection, improved air quality, and peace of mind for the homeowner.

To protect against water intrusion and ensure long-term moisture control, Inspector Jay recommended a full drainage and pump system upgrade for a home in Cicero.

Foreman Harrison and his crew installed the WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system to capture and redirect water efficiently. IceGuards were added to prevent flooding from frozen or clogged discharge lines. A TimeMachine data logger was installed to monitor system performance over time.

The team installed a Twin Pack pump system featuring a twin liner, 1/3 hp cast iron primary AC pump, and a 1/2 hp cast iron AC backup pump. A second Twin Pack liner was also installed to accommodate the homeowner’s existing pump with a 2" discharge line. This setup provides layered protection, real-time monitoring, and reliable drainage for year-round peace of mind.

A homeowner in Cicero was facing sagging floors and compromised support beams in their crawl space. Inspector Devon assessed the situation and recommended the SmartJack support system to restore structural integrity and prevent further settlement.

Foreman Evert and his crew installed SmartJacks beneath the affected joists and beams, providing adjustable, high-capacity support designed to lift and stabilize the floor system. These galvanized steel supports are ideal for crawl spaces, offering long-term durability and resistance to corrosion.

To further reinforce the structure, a supplemental beam was installed alongside the existing framing. This beam helps distribute loads more evenly across the SmartJack system and ensures consistent support throughout the crawl space.

Together, these upgrades not only corrected the immediate structural concerns but also provided a stable foundation for future improvements, giving the homeowner peace of mind and a safer living environment.

A homeowner in Cicero needed targeted concrete lifting and crack repair to address settling and structural concerns. Inspector Devon recommended a combination of polyurethane foam injection and joint sealing to restore stability and prevent further damage.

Foreman Isaias and his crew pumped two-part polyurethane foam into designated areas to stabilize and lift settled concrete surfaces. Additional foam was injected beneath stairs and elevated slabs, where applicable, in coordination with other PolyLyft products to meet minimum application requirements.

To seal visible cracks and prevent water intrusion, We installed a flexible, UV-resistant sealant that helps maintain structural integrity and improves the appearance of repaired surfaces. The combined approach ensures long-term durability and a safer, more stable foundation.

Mike has a dirt crawl space and no encapsulation system to stop moisture from passing through his floors and porous concrete walls.  Realizing that there was some water getting into the crawl space, he decided to call the Basement System of Indiana team for a free estimate.  Our Sales Representative Dave went to Mike's home and determined that our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System needed to be installed to resolve the problem.

Our production crew completed the encapsulation in just a few days, transforming the crawl space into a beautiful space leaving Mike very satisfied.  Prior to installing CleanSpace, excess moisture was prevalent in the vented, dirt-floored crawl space potentially leading to bigger problems such as damage to insulation and mold problems.  If you have a dirt crawl space and need an encapsulation, contact us for a free estimate today!
