Illini Construction & Waterproofing

We moved into our new house in 2017 and were immediately met with basement seepage on the first heavy rainstorm. We were referred to Illini by a coworker and Lorenzo came out to evaluate the basement personally and immediately put us at ease and scheduled waterproofing services. We had french drains dug around half of the foundation and then later had the other half done and used Illini Waterproofing and Const. again. Each time the workers were courteous and professional and were sure to replace our windows and took great care to keep our belongings safe and clean. Would recommend them to anyone needing waterproofing and construction needs. Great friendly service all around.

Bought a house that obviously had previous water issues in the finished basement, so the first repair we contracted was waterproofing. Lorenzo is a likeable guy and was cheaper than Greentree, so we went with him. The first big rain, there was a large amount of water in the basement. He sent a couple of guys out three times since then - each time without any sense of urgency - and the issue is still not fixed. He now says his system is not the problem - it was apparently an unseen issue that is the problem and that I will need to hire someone else to fix it.

Lorenzo was prompt in returning calls, showing up for appointments and reasonable in his estimates. His team was professional, on time and fast. We had French drains installed in two days. Highly recommend.
