Homeowner Searches for Concrete Leveling in Illinois State Capital

A homeowner in Springfield, IL searched high and low for a professional concrete leveling contractor. He then contacted Helitech because of water in his basement. During the initial visit, it was apparent that the water was coming up over the top of the existing foundation. The homeowner showed the crew an area where water was coming in and water damage on interior framing.

The problem wasn’t necessarily the home’s foundation, but that the driveway was tilted towards the house and was badly cracked. In addition, the adjoining neighbors behind him were elevated higher, which directed all of their water towards the problem house.

Springfield Concrete Removal and Replacement Contractor Finds Solution for Homeowner

Helitech removed the existing section of the driveway and replaced it with a new one sloping away from the house. Helitech also installed a grate alongside the house to catch water during a heavy storm. The crew removed a 16-inch section of the driveway along the side of the house and replaced it with new concrete that was curbed to send water down to the street faster.

The result was an effective solution that improved the flow of rainwater and improved the appearance of the property.

As I homeowner having water in your home is frustrating! In my case, my kitchen is actually in the basement, so when I got water, it affected my living space and where I have dinner with my family. I asked around my work to see who people would recommend. Helitech was mentioned 3 times, so I thought, “I’ll give them a call”, this became the best decision I could have made!
After making an apt with the friendly receptionist, I was introduced to Mark. He came to the house and explained everything to me. He was so nice and knowledgeable that all my worries were instantly put at ease. When he quoted me for the work that needed to be done, I about cried as to how reasonable the cost would be! I thanked him and he told me I would be getting a call as to when the job would start.

Not long after, Joy emailed and called me. She was very nice and helped me schedule a time for work to start.

On December 10th, Nick and his crew arrived! Nick was very nice and professional. As a woman, I tend to be intimidated by these things, however, Nick treated me with total respect and explained to me exactly what they would need to do. The crew worked hard to dig and excavate around my foundation. They were skilled and diligent both days. They let me know when there was an issue. I got a chance to view the final product before the dirt was replaced. It was BEAUTIFUL! I have complete confidence that water will no longer be ruining my dinner with my family!
Mark and Nick assured me that in the spring Helitech will return to regrade the dirt as well as seed and straw the area.

Helitech was an awesome company to work with and I am 100% satisfied and happy with my experience. From Mark to Joy, then to Nick and his crew … I never felt nervous and I felt like they truly cared.

Thank you. I will be recommending your company to all my friends and family should they need your services.
