Excavation & Inspection

If there is damage below your foundation, our team will need to excavate the soil and other debris until your footing is exposed. From there, we start our inspection.

Check for Cracks

The next step is to check for cracks in your foundation and outer or inner walls. These cracks are signs that your home is shifting and must be repaired.

Repair Foundation Cracks

If vertical or horizontal cracks are found, repairs will be made using high-strength hydraulic cement that will fill the separated concrete & strengthen your foundation.

Apply Sealant & Membrane

Our waterproofing membranes and sealants will then be installed over the restored cracks, coating the entire surface of your foundation that repels water infiltration.

Upgrade Your Sump Pump

Our team will finally examine your sump pump or install a sump pump system to ensure that any overflow or sewage issue does not penetrate the surface.

Crack & Pipe Injection

If your property has experienced water damage caused by cracks in your walls or foundation, Lovell Basement Solutions offers high-quality solutions that stabilize your cracked surfaces. Our experts use a special pressured grout to seal and repair vertical or horizontal cracks in your concrete surfaces; this prevents any moisture from penetrating your basement and weakening your foundation.

Our concrete injection products can also be used to seal voids surrounding pipes, many of which acquire moisture over time that can damage your home. Get in touch with our waterproofing team to perform crack injection services on your foundation and basement walls in Edwardsville, IL.

Water Diversion

Different from true waterproofing, water diversion is a process that leads ground water away from the foundation of your home using drainage systems such as a French drain or drain tile. This waterproofing process is completed in accordance with a sump pump, if your property has one, and allows water to flow beneath the foundation of your home. The difference between this technique and true waterproofing is that the latter does not allow water to enter your property under any circumstances.

At Lovell Basement Solutions, we recommend investing in a water diversion service if you are looking to prevent water damage to your basement, crawlspace, or foundation.

Sump Pump & Basin Installation

If water is threatening to flood your basement, there has to be a way to drain the water out. At Lovell Basement Solutions in Edwardsville, IL, we provide sump pump and basin installation to prevent water damage and seepage issues in your basement. If your home already has a sump pump, but it’s been around for over a decade, it’s a good idea to replace it before extreme weather causes the system to overload. When this happens, your basement and belongings can be permanently damaged and cost thousands in repairs.

Our team offers submersible and pedestal sump pumps depending on which system works best for your home. Get a free estimate on our sump pump installation when you call 618.334.7711.

Ryan and his crew do excellent work, and provide fast and efficient service. They replaced our joists and sub floor in our bathroom and they did such great work at that, that we hired them again to water proof our entire basement. We couldn’t be happier, They even cleaned up the bathroom and the basement after every work day they were here. I highly recommend Ryan and his crew to anyone looking for home repairs you will not disappointed...

Ryan and his crew did an amazing job with my basement, which flooded from hydrostatic pressure...The whole team is knowledgable, trustworthy, and professional. I was told each day what they are doing and how close we were to completion. They also respected the other areas of my home by laying mats, tarps and other protective coverings down to prevent damage. They provided an unbeatable price with a lifetime warranty on the system...
