I just want to say how grateful I am to have Randy come out to our home today. He contacted me as promised, assessed our situation, carefully explained his findings and any follow-up considerations. Your standards of following up with these pins to assess settling is great; people like Randy out in the field representing your company is priceless.

The level of professionalism and standard of work really shows with the staff at Helitech. Melvin was an absolute pleasure when assisting us with a crack in our basement wall and is as solid as they come. His knowledge and experience really have helped us out tremendously. Absolutely would recommend.

Dylan and his crew, Zack, Jacob, and Arlen, installed new beams in my crawl space. The crawl space was small, but they were able to level my sagging floors. The work took just 3 days. They took away all debris and left my yard clean. Dylan was friendly and answered all my questions. He had pictures to show what was happening under my house. I was happy with the results.

Great service. Kevin was great at explaining what needed to be done and following up. Aaron and his crew worked very hard in a particularly difficult job site. Clay soil and bedrock caused all kinds of problems, but they were on phone with supervisors, engineers, etc. to come up with the best solution options. Left job site clean, and finished in allotted time.

We had an absolute mess in our crawlspace. Beau arrived quickly, assessed the situation and clearly explained the work needed. He also worked diligently to provide an estimate and subsequent contract in a timely fashion. I was also thrilled with how quickly Helitech’s technicians were onsite to solve our water issue. They worked in nasty conditions, yet finished the job as promised. We are now in the dry and very pleased with their work!

The men that did the work on our foundation stabilization did an awesome job. They communicated very well with us. If something extra needed to be done, they always checked with us before moving forward. There were many days of long, HOT and strenuous work, but they kept on until everything was completed.

From Beau Bolin that did my estimate to Dean H. & Cory G. that did the work. They answered all my questions and made sure I was happy before they left. They made an old problem go away. Thank you !!!!!

Richard S.

This note is to inform you that the Helitech crew that installed my waterproofing system just finished the job. The crew consisted of Ronnie, Mark, and Josh. These men did an excellent job of installing my system, conducting themselves in a professional manner. They were very accommodating towards our schedules, very aware of their cleanliness, and informative in answering all my questions. I was very pleased with the men’s work ethic and professionalism in representing your company.

The work was done timely and correctly. They did a very good job.

Michael M.

Thank you to you and your crews that worked in the Dietary Department here at Sparta Community Hospital during the “floor lifting” project. Everyone of the crew was polite, courteous, helpful and tolerant of all my questions and concerns. Because of that, our patients and staff were not affected by the project. That was the overall goal – no disruption of service plus a floor that rose! Great job to you and your crew members!

Barb B.
SPARTA, IL

When estimate was initially done, we were a little hesitant, but the representative effectively assured us that when work began, if problems arose, work would stop and we would be immediately notified. On the day of the actual work, the crew went above in beyond. The crew was very knowledgeable which reassured us that we had made the right decision. Thank you Helitech!

Helitech is a great company! Beau was honest, helpful, and knowledgeable in regards to repairing issues with our basement. Helitech also stands by their product, offering lifetime warranties for certain repairs to basements and crawlspaces. I would recommend this company and estimator to anyone!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

The Heartland’s extreme temperature variations, which can range from below zero in winter to over 100°F in summer, create significant stress on concrete foundations. These temperature fluctuations cause concrete to expand and contract repeatedly, potentially leading to cracking and deterioration. During the winter months, moisture trapped in concrete can freeze and expand, causing spalling and structural weakness. This is particularly problematic in Iowa and Nebraska where the temperature can change dramatically within short periods.

Foundation settling in the Heartland region is primarily due to the area’s loess soil deposits and variable moisture conditions. Loess soil is highly susceptible to compression and erosion when wet. During drought periods, this soil shrinks significantly, while excessive rainfall causes it to become unstable. This constant soil movement, combined with the region’s varying water table levels, often results in uneven foundation settlement that can damage home structures.

Loess soil, a windblown sediment common throughout Iowa and Nebraska, presents unique challenges for home foundations. This soil type maintains stability when dry but can quickly lose strength when saturated with water. Its vertical structure makes it particularly prone to sudden collapse when wet, potentially creating voids beneath foundations. Furthermore, loess soil’s fine particle size makes it highly erodible, which can lead to foundation undermining if drainage isn’t properly managed.

In the Heartland’s challenging climate, effective basement waterproofing typically requires a multi-layered approach. Interior drainage systems combined with heavy-duty exterior waterproofing membranes provide the best protection against the region’s heavy seasonal rainfall. Sump pump systems with battery backups are essential due to frequent storms, while proper grading and exterior drainage solutions help manage surface water. Additionally, vapor barriers and foundation crack repairs are crucial components for complete basement protection in Iowa and Nebraska’s varying climate conditions.
