Basement Waterproofing
Stop water from ruining your basement. A-Proseal keeps Chicago homes dry with drain tile systems, sump pumps, crack repairs, and wall membranes that last.
Your Trusted Basement Waterproofing Team in Chicago
Chicago weather is tough on basements. Heavy rain in spring, melting snow in winter, and clay soil that holds water all year long. That constant moisture pushes against your foundation and finds a way inside. It seeps through cracks, floor joints, and porous block walls. Once water gets in, it damages your floors, your walls, and the things you store down there.
A-Proseal has been solving wet basement problems across Chicago and the suburbs since 2000. We are a family-owned company, and we do every job with our own trained crew. We never send subcontractors to your home. When you call us, you talk to real people who know basements inside and out.
Our team handles every part of basement waterproofing. We install interior drain tile systems, set up sump pumps with battery backup, seal foundation cracks, and apply vapor barriers to your walls. We look at the full picture and build a plan that fits your home and your budget.
Whether you see standing water after a storm or just notice a damp smell that will not go away, we can help. Call us today or fill out the form to schedule your free same-day inspection. There is no pressure and no obligation.

What You Get With Our Basement Waterproofing
Interior Drain Tile
Perforated pipes run along the base of your walls inside a gravel bed. They catch water before it reaches your floor and send it straight to the sump pump.
Sump Pump With Battery Backup
A strong primary pump moves water out of your home around the clock. The battery backup kicks in when the power goes out during Chicago storms.
Wall Vapor Barrier
A heavy-duty membrane goes right on your basement walls. It blocks moisture from seeping through the concrete and keeps the air inside your home dry and clean.
Foundation Crack Sealing
We fill cracks in your walls and floor with epoxy and polyurethane foam. This stops active leaks right away and prevents water from getting in again.
Lifetime Warranty
We stand behind our work with a written lifetime warranty. If water ever comes back through an area we treated, we return and fix it at no extra cost to you.
Clean Worksite, Every Day
We protect your floors, control dust, and clean up at the end of each work day. When the job is done, your basement looks better than when we started.

Basement Waterproofing Questions Chicago Homeowners Ask
Look for water stains on walls, damp spots on the floor, a musty smell, white powder on the concrete, or mold growing anywhere in the basement. Even small signs of moisture can turn into bigger problems. If you see any of these, call us for a free inspection. We will tell you exactly what is going on and what needs to be done.
Most jobs take between one and three days. A simple crack repair can be finished in a few hours. A full drain tile and sump pump system usually takes two to three days. We work quickly, but we never rush. Your home is treated with care from start to finish.
Both methods work well, but most Chicago homes benefit from interior waterproofing. It is less expensive, causes less disruption to your yard, and works great with the clay soil found around Chicago. Interior drain tile systems and sump pumps handle the water that pushes in from the outside and move it away from your home.
Yes. Mold needs moisture to grow. Once your basement is dry, mold cannot spread. Our waterproofing systems remove the water and lower the humidity. If you already have mold, we suggest having it removed by a specialist first. After that, our system will keep it from coming back.
Yes. Every waterproofing job we do comes with a written lifetime warranty. Our systems are built to protect your home for the long run. If water ever comes back through an area we treated, we return and fix it at no extra cost. We stand behind our work 100%.
