Concrete Crawlspaces & Basement Waterproofing Corp

Steve Gavin, the owner came out and provided me with a great price that was inclusive of the entire scope of the project. During our meeting he took the time to explain the process that his company uses. Once the permits were issued the crew arrived the next morning at 7:00 a.m. as promised. The crew met the deadline for a 1:30 inspection from the Village of Deerfield. They not only met the deadline but they passed the inspection without any issues to be corrected. The crew worked until 7:00 p.m. completing the job. I would also note that they left my home spotless!

Trustworthy consultation, quote, and explanation of services. Professional, quality work every step of the way.

Everything went as planned. They were efficient and knew what they were doing. We had a moisture barrier put down on the gravel and then the concrete poured. They also sealed a couple cracks in the foundation around the crawl. We are so glad we found Concrete Crawlspaces because the blend of concrete is designed for crawl spaces; it dries more quickly and doesn't add a lot of moisture to the basement and house as it dries. It looks great and will now be much easier for our dehumidifier to keep up with the moisture.

Omg the crew was awesome...they arrived at 8am as promised. They started by laying plastic thru out my house so tge floor wasnt get ruined for the sand and dirt. They also hung plastic where it was needed for dust. The performance of their job was excellent. The clean up and the neatness of everything, you couldn't tell that they had even been there...also the work that they did with applying the plastic to my wall and the cementing following was acceptional. Overall I am very very pleases I choose this company.. They were the second company to come over...Im happy

EXCELLENT.. George came to my home to to give an estimate..was very professional and quoted me a fair price for all the work involved..crew arrived on time..fully covered the area they would be working in with plastic to protect my walls and floors..they were very polite and respectful of me and my home.the job was completed on schedule..I would definitely recommend their services to anyone wanting a better option than plastic to encapsulate their crawl space..thank you George,Donna and the entire crew who worked on this!!!

Jason and his crew were great. The crew showed up early and very professional. I was very leery of how they were going to pump the cement in as they were going through my window but there was no mess to be found. They cleaned up everything and you would never know they were there. I am thrilled with the results and would definitely recommend them! Thank you very much!!

I received 3 estimates for filling the crawlspace with concrete and sealing the perimeter walls with a barrier to keep rodents (field mice) out and the warmth in. Their estimate was in the middle of the pack and after some online research I decided to use them for my project. They fit me in to their schedule and their crew of 4 showed up on time led by Willie. He and his crew were professional and helpful since we didn't know what to expect. They put down protective tarps and began the process. They were in at 8:30 a.m. and out by 1 pm. Fast, efficient and very good. I watched them in the crawl as they prepped the basement, after leveling and pouring in red lava rocks they poured the cement and made it perfectly smooth using a hand trowel to complete the first phase of this job. They quickly removed all debris and when they left for the day the interior of our home was just as clean as when they entered. The second phase of the job is to be completed in 2 weeks when they return to add a wire mesh and apply a 2" layer of closed cell SPF to the walls to seal the crawlspace off from the outside world. I highly recommend Safe Seal Waterproofing - Concrete Crawlspace & Basement Waterproofing of Glen Ellyn, IL if you need to repair or fix your interior crawlspace.

My old basement has had problem after problem for several years. This team was very professional and worked with me to make sure the scope of work and price were fair. We did run into a few unforeseen issues like finding a broken pipe underground, but because they have a plumber on staff, they were able to fix it. Other companies quoted me more and/or didn't have a plumber so couldn't complete the full job. I feel I paid a fair price and would happily hire them again based on their professionalism. Additionally, I appreciate a team of contractors who speaks to me, a woman, no differently than they would a male member of a household.

We just waterproof our basement by Safe Seal Waterproofing and we are happy with job they did. First we met Jason , he provide us with an estimate , he was very nice and easy to communicate with. The crew ( led by Javier ) was on time and friendly , the guys know what they doing and explained everything as they went along. In the middle of the work we got some additional plumbing issue and owner company Stephen stopped by our house and explained everything to us. Great job. Thank you Safe Seal Waterproofing.

Overall the concrete work was ok but my overall rating is because of the added expense they cost me by messing with something that most likely is out of their scope of expertise and knowledge which is plumbing. I had them come out to give me an estimate and it was brought to my attention that the sump pump would need to "remove connection to sewer line/discharge to exterior." It is probably on me to have made an assumption I was dealing with professionals who would not leave a job and their service by leaving the consumer with something that is not code and inevitably a much larger expense to rectify. Overall I was not impressed with the professionalism as well. My first appointment was set for 8am and he arrived at 7:30. I'm all for punctuality but let's be mindful of how early that is and not surprise your customer that early. The first appointment was fine and I was satisfied with the estimate. The day the workers came they got the job done however I did not appreciate the blasting music when I live in a bi-level and the crawl space is in the lower level which is very much a part of the house where I had to listen to the noise the whole time. I was patient and did not say anything as I appreciated the hard work. What I was not aware of is the entire sump pump was literally relocated from the back of the house to the front of the house with an eye sore of a pump drilled directly under the front window. This was NOT explained to me at all. They also attached a six foot pvc pipe which made it even more of an eye sore but I get the water needed to be directed far away from the house. Shortly after the work was done, my crawl flooded due to the pump valve. I had to call them back out and I got an attitude and a comment directed to me saying "we did not replace any parts." Was that comment necessary? There was no leakage before the work was done and I just paid 5,250 to concrete and seal my crawl and now I have a little pond in there. I did not make any accusation or even place blame. It is natural to call the company that just did work when a problem arose/ They came out and fixed and then I was told just run some fans in there. There was nothing offered for the inconvenience of a flooded crawl after the work was done. Fast forward to the next couple of months when the weather started changing. Naturally the pipe they put in the front froze which caused a backup and the motor of the pump to almost burn out. I had to call a licensed plumber to come out. Initially to get by they cut the pipe but then the pump continued to work because it caused a never ending cycle of water pumping directly at the front of house and on and on. We then had to go to just get some tubing to direct it further away from the house causing an even bigger eye sore. The licensed plumber told us there were other options so did not understand why this company put a pipe right in front of the house creating this series of issues and future work needed. They advised the village will want this pump under ground and needs to go all the way to the street. It will just keep freezing again as is too. If we pursue this work we now need to get permits, get the concrete and my lawn ripped up for something as a consumer I trusted this company new what they were doing. Had we known this job would have caused a much bigger job down the road we never would have done this. If you are just looking for concrete work I'm sure this company is ok although a week later a giant crack already formed in the work. Because of the added expense and negligence of work they did with regards to pump and plumbing and the attitude and unprofessionalism I would not use them for any job that involves any type of plumbing work nor would I recommend to friends or family.

Excellent. Highly recommend!!! Jason was very flexible as we started talking about this ~4 months before we did the work and came out twice as the plans slightly changed. He assessed work as unnecessary, that another contractor recommended, helping keep prices down. Javier showed up with the crew on time and finished right on schedule with no surprises. All work looks great. Necessary care was taking for cleanup, etc.

Great- the crew worked quickly, and laid down tarps in our hallways so as not to track in any dirt/ mud/ concrete. They were courteous and did an expert job on our crawl space. It’s bone dry, clean, and can now be used for storage without fear of our belongings being damaged by moisture. We also have no worries about mold (we have a young child and our family room is in our lower level). We are having them come back out to repair a foundation crack- their pricing was the best we were quoted. Jason has been a big help! Easy scheduling, too. Highly recommend!

Excellent and such a relief for me. Just lost my husband and after numerous quotes, called this company and Jason was out in the next two days and repaired the issue. Wonderful people.

The job went well. So far we’ve not had any water enter the basement since the work was completed. However, we’ve also not had a heavy or long rain. That will be the true test. We chose this company because of their commitment to return if a problem does arise which gives an added level of confidence. My only suggestion is that the salesperson should call after the work is finished to see how things went and express his gratitude for our business. This has been my only disappointment.

They did an excellent job. Removed all the debris that was in the crawlspace and took it all away. They were punctual and professional and I would strongly recommend them

Work throughout the project was sub-par. Foundations repairs we not repaired in manner proposed and covered with dimple board prior to the ability to inspect them. Crews were messy and tracked concrete into the house. Owner was completely un-professional throughout project and a months later determined that he did not bill correctly or clearly and we needed to pay more. After we disputed that fact unprofessional and rude comments followed via email. I would urge any potential buyer to steer clear and use another company.

It went well, they are prompt and arrive early to perform the work. The work was completed efficiently and as planned.

The company was very professional and did a good job. I was able to reach someone over the phone quickly with any questions and issues.

This is one of the projects i am completely proud of myself for choosing safe seal. The entire process went smooth. Jason gave an estimate, we scheduled the work week after that. The crew did a phenomenal job. They arrived on time, did a great work and cleaned up nicely without a trace of cement or dirt. The value and pricing for the project is very very reasonable!. Highly recommend for basement and crawlspace water proofing. They also honored 5% discount for the angieslist members.

Well done; efficient; leak stopped immediately.

they never called me back. I guess they did not want my business

Other well known companies shined a flashlight into my crawlspace and said it was too tight to be done. Not Jason at Concrete Crawlspaces! He crawled right in through the spider webs and worked his way into the back of this horror movie setting! When quickly provided a scope of work for the solution along with our options. He also provided a verbal estimate that was extremely reasonable and later validated in writing. The workers showed up promptly and were clean, friendly, well organized, and the level of detail was impressive! They put runners on the floor from the home entry all the way to the crawlspace before they even walked on an area. They also cleaned up and walked backwards on their way out to remove the floor coverings. A week after the concrete dried, they came back to spray foam the walls. We have already noticed a difference in the temperature, musty smells, and elimination of pests. We highly recommend Jason and the entire crew at Concrete Crawlspaces!

First rate work. Done professionally, quickly and cleaned up after finishing.

Very good. We haven’t decided yet to go with the insulation. We are still kind of debating how much other work we want to do on the house. In terms of them coming out, giving us a quote and visiting us, that was very good. We had some other insulation companies come out and that seemed to be a lot better. We would consider using them.

This is a tough and dirty job. The crew was very polite and didn't even leave any mess! They dug trenches to the footing along all 4 walls of the whole crawl, set the drain tile and sump pump and vapor barrier, all before lunch! We had a 1 pm city inspection, no problems there, and then the concrete mixer truck showed up and they pumped in the concrete. My village required my sump pit to drain to the city's storm sewers, and trenching to the street would have cost a fortune. They were able to run an ejection pipe through my basement ceiling to where my other sump pit ejects. Village inspector was happy with the work and my crawlspace is now dry and looks amazing! Just a warning to others that concrete puts out a TON of humidity into the house. After 24 hours water was trickling down the basement walls and all our windows were wet and fogged up. We bought a 70 pint dehumidifier and after only an hour the basement walls were dry. We've been running it continuously so we capture whatever humidity the concrete loses.
