Josh’s Bio

As a Home Care Specialist for Helitech, I enjoy helping customers resolve issues with their homes and providing options to address their waterproofing or foundation problems within the Central Illinois area.

I reside in Hopedale, IL with my wife, Lexi, and our two kids, Whitley and Adelaide. My wife and I were both born and raised in the central Illinois area and are members and leaders of Salt Church in Bloomington IL.

Before my career with Helitech, I worked as an estimator in exterior home remodeling in the Peoria and Bloomington surrounding areas. Outside of working for Helitech, I enjoy being a dad to two amazing children, smoking meat on the weekends for family, or spending time on the lake. I enjoy automotive restoration, woodworking, and playing guitar when time allows.

The most important life lessons I’ve learned are trust and loyalty. Working for Helitech as a project estimator to solve homeowners’ problems with the best products available gives me great satisfaction at the end of the day.

Kurtis from Helitech just installed a new buried gutter extension to move water away from our foundation. He was great. When he got here he explained what he was going to do, answered all my questions, completed all the work and then explained a few things to me. I highly recommend Helitech and specifically Kurtis.

I heard good things about the company, plus the lifetime warranty on the work done is a very good seller for me. Your Home Care Specialists was friendly and would keep me informed on your time coming out, your project foreman was very good and his workers also. They were very friendly and did a good job also. You have some good employee workers. I’m glad I used Helitech for this job.

One area of our basement was leaking following periods of excessive rain. This was approx. 5 years ago. We called upon Helietech to help resolve our issue. They were prompt & courteous and found the issue quickly and sealed the area of concern. Not one single issue since then. We were very pleased with the quality of work performed!

I want to comment on the work on the repair of my foundation. The professionalism and attention to detail and quality of your team were outstanding. Aaron, along with Marquice and Alex were all great and true professional. The explained what they were going to do, shared status as we went and helped me understand the process. They were very polite and very concerned about our house in keeping it clean as they did the work. Simply put, they fixed the poor and incomplete work of a previous company to my desire. I am very satisfied with the work performed and will be recommending your company to anyone that needs foundation repair.

We would like to commend Chris, Sequonria & CJ for their fine work at our home this past week. They were pleasant and answered all our questions thoroughly. We were pleased with the speed and quality of their work.

Today my husband and I get to enjoy our weekend instead of pumping water out of our basement!!!! It’s so nice knowing that the system you installed will allow us to sleep tonight rather than worry about a flooded basement!!!! Best investment in our home!!!!! Thank you!!!!

After MONTHS of vacuuming the basement whenever it rained more than a half inch (last summer was horrible!) and a crack developing along the cement block line, it has been a tremendous relief this year to not have a drop in the basement and the wall back in line. My crew did a great job in a short amount of time and the results, as I said, were outstanding. I now have complete peace of mind.

We wanted to pass along how pleased we are with the work your men did on our basement on August 21 & 22, 2017. They did an excellent job. They were so nice and we were happy with them at all times. We cannot thank you enough for these 4 men and will certainly recommend your company to any of our family & friends who need work on their basements. We hope we do not need any other work, but if we do, we will call only you.

I am writing to compliment (Brandon and Josh) for work completed at our house. They came at the promised time and proceeded to do their work in a timely and professional manner. They made virtually no mess or dust. They explained each step of the process, so I felt confident of their repair. Having been a licensed plumber for 36 years it was nice to see competent and professional workers. I would recommend Helitech to anyone needing similar repairs.

I wanted to send a note to let you know how much my family and I appreciate the work that your employees did at our home. In this historic flood, the river is currently touching our foundation and, while MANY in our neighborhood (and others we know) have flooded basements, ours remains completely dry. The pump you installed is running almost non-stop and the back-up in the secondary sump hole is kicking on periodically. Your knowledgeable workers did an excellent job installing the system I believe 3 years ago, which has well exceeded our expectations. The fact that they worked on the evening of New Year’s Eve to get the job done, is a testament to your company’s (and your employees’) personal commitment to your customer. My wife and I were just talking last night about how thankful we are for having invested in the Helitech Waterproofing System. Thanks again for the work that has protected our home from what could have been devastating water damage. Please feel free to use this letter as a customer testimonial as we’ve recommended your company to many of our family, friends, and coworkers.

Over the past two days, Foreman Chris Underwood and laborers C.J. Holman and Devan Kaulkner were at my condo repairing the basement wall and installing a drainage pipe. These Helitech employees were stellar in all areas. They were organized and went to work immediately. During the process we encountered a minor snafu which required their patience to resolve. They were patient and all possessed a “can do” attitude. Throughout the process, Chris Underwood explained the process as it went along. All the employees were cheerful, courteous and respectful of property and privacy while doing their work. In all ways, it was a pleasure to have them perform this work and I really cant imagine how they could have performed it better. Without a doubt, I am completely able to recommend the services of Helitech to others.

We were very pleased with the work done by Helitech. The three men were professional, polite, on-time, and kept their work site neat. We haven’t had to use our new waterproofing system yet as it hasn’t rained in weeks but look forward to having a dry basement guaranteed! Dan and Jackie M., Springfield IL

They explained to me what they would be doing. When they were finished they showed me all that was done. They were very careful to not make a mess. I was completely satisfied with the results.

Rick G.

Chris Couden and Corey G. Completed a slab jacking project for our HOA on 9/13. I just wanted you to know that they did a great job. They were very professional and Chis did a great job of explaining everything they were doing. Cleanup was extraordinary. We would not hesitate to use your services in the future.

I wanted to make sure that it was known that the group of guys that worked on our house were very professional and very hard working. I had a few items to clean up in the basement when they arrived and the team was very accommodating while working around me instead of just packing up to head home. They rolled with the punches and made sure that the job was done right which I appreciated. They were a great group of guys and enjoyed having them here which is why I’ve recommended Helitech for at least 2 other jobs.

Chris U., Tony S., and another gentleman on the crew went above and beyond. I am really pleased with the work.

I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with the work done at my residence yesterday by three young men from the North Office. Their names are Tyler, Derrick, and Matthew. They were very professional, prompt, and courteous. The work performed exceeded my expectations. I have had a lot of work done this year by contractors mostly because of the storms we had in the spring but this is the first contractor’s team who got the real message of customer service. Thank you for sending these three to do my work. Also, I was very pleased with the Representative who initially assessed my work. I believe his name was Jon Meyer. I have already called a couple neighbors and recommended Helitech to them.

Chris and crew made me feel comfortable in choosing your company to fix our basement. Chris and guys were absolutely amazing. Very polite and took time to answer any questions.

Adam Fricke was very helpful and explained everything Helitech can do and even helped me with my change orders. Chad Hurd and crew did a fantastic job. He explained everything they were doing. All the guys on the crew were helpful, friendly and answered any questions I had. They did a lot of heavy work and in a very short time, I was very impressed with how well they worked together. They know their stuff. I highly recommend Helitech for any basement waterproofing needs you may have. You won’t be disappointed.

Ken S.

Great job!!! Complete job was done in less time than quoted. Quality and workmanship was fantastic. Thanks to Tyler, Charles, and Mathew my basement will always be dry.

Mike S.

Fantastic! Repaired our basement wall after another company’s repair failed.

Colleen S.

Very easy to work with. The quality of the products and, the knowledgeable and friendly staff made our decision to use Helitech a very easy decision.

Adam was the gentleman the did our estimate for us. He was very professional, courteous and thorough. The information he provided to us was very helpful.

Had never worked with Helitech before, and was advised they were a fantastic company by a friend of mine who had use them. From the beginning of the process to the end, everything was smooth professional and efficient. Bill the project manager was very informative and available easily at all times. Kevin who did the repairs, was super friendly and efficient and knew exactly what he was doing. Always answered any questions that we had, and assured us everything would be done to meet our satisfaction. Helitech did not let us down!

Linda P

They were great, they got the whole thing done in one day and the next day it rained more than it has all year and no water in the basement thanks to the great work and perfect timing.

Aaron J.

We had a couple of areas with small wall cracks that eventually needed to be addressed. I had called around to a lot of places, but only Helitech were willing and able to do the epoxy injection instead of really expensive excavation. Their sales agent, Nick Kelton, was professional and great at explaining the process, and the technician came in to do the work and left no messes. Lifetime guarantee on their work. I highly recommend them!

I usually don’t leave online reviews but my recent experience with Helitech has been so positive that I feel compelled to write one. We recently bought a house that has foundation repair work done by Helitech in 2021 that came with a lifetime transferrable warranty. I met with Nick Lanners at the end of May for an inspection to enable the warranty transfer process. While Nick was at our house, I brought up the basement water issue with him (water just poured out whenever it rained). Even though Helitech didn’t do the waterproofing at our house, Nick was very helpful in giving me some pointers regarding what we may try. We eventually decided to spend the money to get our basement waterproofed and obtained several quotes from different companies. We are really glad that we went with Helitech for the project. Nick has been outstanding throughout the process. Frankly, the only reason we went with Helitech is because of Nick. He took the time to explain the work that would be done and is very responsive in returning phone calls, text messages, or emails. He took the time to come to our house a few days before the project was scheduled to begin to make sure our house was ready. He stopped by a couple of times while the project was underway to make sure everything was in order. He even returned several days after the project was completed to help me re-connected our utility sink and washer/dryer. It was a wonderful feeling to have a rep that I feel I can trust and count on. Our project took 4 days to complete. Clayton and his crew were excellent. They showed up on time every day. It was very hot for the four days that they were there, but the crew worked hard every single day and cleaned up after the project was completed. Due to the cost of the project (it was not cheap) and some of the reviews that I read online, I was a little nervous and anxious to go with Helitech. But we are glad that we did. We also had another waterproofing company did a downspout extension project for us last month, and I can tell you that the responsiveness and customer service from Helitech and that other company is day-and-night (no comparison at all). We haven’t had a good rain yet to test and see if the waterproofing actually works. I may need to come back here and edit this review when we have a chance to see how the system holds up to the rain. But as Nick repeatedly reassured me, Helitech guarantees their work and if there are any issues, Nick reassured me that all I need to do is to give him a call. I want to take the time to thank Nick Lanners, Clayton, and his crew for helping us with this project. Based on our experience so far, I would definitely recommend Helitech.

I met with Nick Kelton from Helitech today. His knowledge of the problems I have in my basement was very helpful. He helped me understand my project and what is needed to ensure my basement is safe for my family for a long time!

Alfredo came to our house on time and was very professional and had a great demeanor about him. I’ve done business with Helitech in the past and have never been disappointed. Alfredo is a great ambassador for Helitech.

Guys showed up on time, explained everything they were going to do. Answered any questions I had. When completed showed me the results, again asked if I had any questions. Greg gave me my estimate, he did a great job answering all my questions. Throughout the process, Greg was always available, even weekends when he was home. Great job, thanks to all!

Phil L.
MAHOMET, ILLINOIS

Very knowledgeable professional and easy to work with Greg is great.

Shane G.

I am very happy with the work that was done they did a very nice and clean job picked up after themselves very easily nicely even though we’ve had a couple of 3 inch rain since then I have not had a drop of water in my basement so I thank you very much I think it was an excellent job.

Dan B.

I appreciate the great attitude and the discussions I had with Nick Kelton. He and I came up with the best solution for my house and family. He was very professional and I felt it was quality all the way through. Five out of five stars. I would recommend him and Helitech to any of my family or friends.

Ronn M.
