From Foursquares near the old village center to newer subdivision homes, Greentown has a wide mix of basements. We waterproof and repair them with our own crew and a transferable lifetime warranty.
Greentown was platted in 1816 and is now a census-designated place in the southwest part of Lake Township. Its older core still has houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s, including Foursquares and Colonial Revivals. Around them, newer subdivisions filled in over the decades. So one street can hold a century-old stone or block basement and a modern poured one.
Lake Township is a landscape of rolling hills and shallow valleys left behind by the glaciers. The ground is glacial till, a mix of clay with sand and gravel pockets. Clay layers hold water against a foundation, while sandy seams can carry it quickly toward a basement. Homes built into a slope or near a low spot often get more than their share.
Winter frost, a wet thaw and heavy spring storms keep the soil soaked for long stretches. Newer subdivisions add roofs, driveways and patios that shed water fast. When that water can't drain away, it pushes through the floor seam, cracks and tie-rod holes, or it simply raises the humidity until the basement smells musty.
Older Greentown houses rest on walls that have handled a century of freezing and thawing clay. Mortar loosens and block can bow. In newer homes, poured walls crack as they cure and the soil settles around them, and backfilled soil near the foundation can sink and tilt water toward the house.
Most of our foundation work is done from inside. Carbon-fiber straps hold block walls that have started to bow. The Richtech Stabilizer System braces walls that have moved further, and its steel braces can be tightened to move them back toward plumb. Steel push piers support settling corners, and injection seals leaking cracks.
Interior drainage, wall membranes and footing drains that relieve water pressure and stop seepage at the source - keeping your Greentown basement dry for good.

Mike and Ken and the other workers, what can I say? They have gone above and beyond for us. This has been a very challenging job, and Mike the owner has been back several times to make it right.
Positive experience from start to finish. Scheduled the estimate within days and got us right on the calendar for the repair. Ken was great to work with and answered my numerous questions with patience. The crew arrived on time.
Brian was the lead on the job, him and his crew were absolutely astounding. They worked extremely hard and I commend them for their professionalism and their knowledge.
Older basements often have no working drain at the footing, so spring water sits against the walls. An interior drain and sump pump give that water a way out. We'll check it for free and explain the plan.
Poured walls often crack as they cure, and some of those cracks leak. It's common and usually fixable with injection. We'll check whether it's just a leak or a sign of movement.
That seam is called the cove joint, and it's where water pressure under and beside the floor pushes through first. A drain along the footing relieves that pressure and sends the water to a sump.
Yes. Soil backfilled around a basement often settles, and then rain runs toward the wall. Regrading helps. If water is already coming in, drainage inside may be needed too.
The wall against the hill holds back wet soil and takes the most water. A drain at its footing plus a sump usually solves it. We'll also look at runoff coming from above the house.
