Radon Measurement and Mitigation

Most wet basement problems are caused by water collecting around the foundation, creating hydrostatic pressure. The pressure forces water through the joint where the wall and floor meet; even through the cracksand pores in the concrete block walls. Our systems solve the problem by doing what paints, plugs, and sealers can never do.
Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas. You can’t see, smell or taste radon. But it may be a problem in your home. The only way your family can know whether you have an elevated radon level is to test for it.Radon testing can be performed and results reported in as little as 3 days.

Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair:

Drain Tyle Systems
The BIX Baseboard Water Control System is adhered to the floor with a special adhesive that locks the system to the floor and creates a watertight seal. Water is then channeled around to a floor drain or sump pump, leaving the floor dry.

High Pressure Polyurethane Injection
Leaks in concrete structures have been a problem for homeowners and commercial buildings since concrete was first used. Now there is a product that surpasses all other methods of repair! A special polyurethane resin is injected into the concrete crack or hole expanding to fill the void.

Radon Measurement and Mitigation (more info)

Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas. You can’t see, smell or taste radon. But it may be a problem in your home.

Radon comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breath. Radon can get into all types of buildings (new and old) and result in a high indoor radon level. But you and your family are most likely to get your greatest exposure at home, where you spend most of your time.

Elevated radon levels have been found throughout Illinois. The only way your family can know whether you have an elevated radon level is to test for it.

Radon testing can be performed and results reported in as little as 3 days.
