Wheaton, Illinois Foundation Repair - Services Offered
Pipe Penetration Seal Services
Pipe penetrations refer to those areas where your plumbing, electrical, or structural piping extends into the foundation walls. When these pipes are improperly sealed during the initial installation, the concrete around the pipe can slowly erode away. This happens due to factors like sweating pipes, hydrostatic pressure, and water corrosion. The concrete erosion then creates a void, allowing water to seep in.
The best way to prevent such water penetration is to get proper treatment from The Real Seal’s foundation experts in Wheaton, Illinois. We use a polyurethane injection for the process:
- All the dirt and debris from the existing seal will be removed.
- An epoxy bonding material will be applied to create a waterproof seal.
- Polyurethane epoxy will be injected into the void, filling it, and pushing out any stagnant water.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
If you have been facing problems like water leaks, mold formation, musty smells, high levels of humidity, uneven floors, and drywall cracks in your crawl space, you need crawl space encapsulation.
It is a sealing technique that involves lining the floors and walls of your crawl space with overlapping sheets of thin polyethylene plastic. This lining does an excellent job of keeping moisture out.
Basement Window Installation
Another professional service offered by The Real Seal in Wheaton, Illinois is basement window installation. Commonly found in below-ground basements, egress windows serve as escape routes in the event of an emergency. These basement sliding escape windows can be a lifesaving addition to your home. At The Real Seal, we offer new egress window installation as well as replacement services.
