Comprehensive Waterproofing Services We Provide

Helitech offers complete waterproofing solutions to handle everything from small leaks to chronic flooding. Our services include:

  • Interior waterproofing: Installing sump pumps, drainage systems, and vapor barriers to control water inside the basement or crawl space.
  • Exterior waterproofing: Sealing foundation walls, improving grading, and adding drainage outside to keep water from entering in the first place.
  • Basement waterproofing: Preventing leaks and floods that threaten your finished or unfinished basement.
  • Crawl space waterproofing: Encapsulating crawl spaces to block moisture, mold, and pests.
  • Foundation drainage systems: Redirecting water away from your foundation to prevent hydrostatic pressure.

No matter the size of the issue, we deliver solutions that protect your home and your family.

FAQs About Waterproofing Services

Don’t wait! Reach out to us as soon as you notice moisture or foundation concerns. Common red flags include:

  • Damp or sweating basement walls/floors (peeling paint or white, powdery efflorescence)
  • Cracks in the foundation walls or slab—especially if they’re widening or leaking
  • Musty, earthy odors or visible mold/high humidity in the basement
  • Standing water around the foundation after rain or downspouts draining too close to the house
  • Catching these early can prevent structural damage and more expensive repairs later.

Based on decades of field work, these are the red flags we tell homeowners to watch for:

  • Mold or musty odors: Persistent smells or visible growth signal chronic moisture. Left alone, moisture and mold can damage wood framing and finishes and impact indoor air quality.
  • Sagging or bouncy floors: Soft, uneven, or squeaky flooring can point to moisture-related wood deterioration or failing supports beneath the home.
  • Water in the basement or crawl space: Puddles after rain, damp corners, or trickling at wall/floor joints often indicate hydrostatic pressure, settlement cracks, or inadequate drainage.
  • Wood Root (including dry rot): Moisture allows fungi to break down load-bearing members, causing cracked or spongy beams/joists, gaps at baseboards, and structural risk. Wood rot is a serious issue that should be addressed immediately.
  • Basement Condensation: Sweating walls, pipes, or windows may seem minor, but sustained humidity can lead to mold growth, wood decay, and rusted mechanicals if not controlled.

DIY fixes usually treat symptoms, not the source. A professional waterproofing contractor can diagnose the root cause (drainage, hydrostatic pressure, cracks) and design the right interior/exterior system including sump pumps, French drains, crack injection, and encapsulation, installed to code and backed by warranty. 

Since 1987, Helitech has delivered proven solutions and is the exclusive Midwest partner for the HydraDry high-flow drainage system. We offer free, no-obligation evaluations and a plan tailored to your home.

Costs vary based on where water is entering, the scope (linear feet/depth) of drainage, access conditions, the need for a sump/dehumidifier, and any structural or mold remediation. Helitech provides transparent, itemized pricing and flexible financing, 0% promotional plans, traditional installment loans, HELOCs, and full refinances, so you can choose a solution that fits your budget.

Interior waterproofing (interior drain tile, sump pump) relieves hydrostatic pressure and redirects water at the wall and floor joint, ideal for chronic seepage, finished basements, or when excavation isn’t practical. Exterior waterproofing (excavation, wall membrane, footing drains) blocks water before it enters, and works best for severe wall leaks or new builds. Helitech evaluates soil, grading, cracks, and access to recommend the right approach, often a targeted combination.

Haven’t had a drop of water in my basement since Helitech worked on it. It wasn’t uncommon to have an inch of water down there before.

My basement was bad for leaking water. After getting all the small details out of the way, the crew showed up on time and called before they got here. I went down many times to take pictures the crew was happy to show me and explained what they were doing and how the system would work. And now my basement looks a lot better then it used to and it’s staying dry.

I contacted Helitech to conduct an inspection of a home I was purchasing. The sales rep., Jon Courtney, was thorough and extremely knowledgeable. He truly seemed to have my best interest at heart and helped me feel confident that property I was purchasing would be free of headaches during the spring rains. I never once felt pressured into buying a product I didn’t need. I would highly recommend Helitech to anyone who is in need of their services!

Alex, Dwayne, and Dan did a fantastic job piering my foundation. They were prompt, courteous, neat, and worked at a hard job without stopping. They clearly explained what needed to be done, and did not do more work than was required. They also took the time to consult with contractors who were doing other types of work on my house and made sure that everyone was in agreement as to what was to be done, the timing of it, and by whom. Randy who initially came out to bid on the job was also excellent. Helitech came highly recommended, and I can see why. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
