Cracks in Your Basement Foundation Getting You Down? Sick Of Having Water Or Seepage? Hire The Real Seal And Watch Your Basement Issues Disappear!

We purchased our "new" home (Circa, 1968) only 4 months ago in Libertyville.
Unfortunately, for my family and me, the owners did not disclose their water issues...and I mean serious water issues, as in cracks in the foundation. In fact, not only cracks, but these smaller circular openings known as "voids." Needless to say, we not only had water issues through the existing cracks, as it turned out, we even had hidden cracks and due to a combination of extreme rain and standing snow conditions, created the "Perfect Storm."

From February through the end of April, we eventually discovered 9 foundation cracks and 2 voids! In a case of the ultimate "Buyer Beware" the previous owners of 33 year's failed to disclose a plethora of water issues. After consulting with the usual "suspects," whose first priority was to rope the homeowner in and than upsell them  into their cost prohibitive program, after already having spent a fortune in professional restoration (the clean up alone cost $2,200.00, not including the reconstruction post-damage), enter Austin Werner and The Real Seal, LLC.

Had Owner Austin Werner not only forensically uncovered every one of these hidden "gems" we'd have been stuck with a virtual nightmare for the long-haul. As most home owners are well aware, purchasing a new home is typically the largest purchase that a consumer shells out to upgrade their family's lifestyle, neighborhood and much more. To be hit with unexpected water issues after having just laid out a fortune (no matter how much income a home owner has, the down payment and expenses related to a new home purchase are still gargantuan out-lays), for the purchase is not only a huge letdown, it's even more exasperating when (like in our circumstances) the prior homeowner doesn't disclose and hides major water issues.

Needless to say, after discovering we were lied to and water was periodically streaming in from all sides of our basement, Austin & The Real Seal took an untenable situation and actually provided explanations anyone could have understood, breaking our issues down and than trouble-shooting them on the spot!


What makes Austin's efforts even that much more impressive, is the fact that all the big boys in the industry had just recently stopped by, attempting to "upsell" us during a drawn out "sell sell sell" sales pitch, where my wife and I couldn't wait for the guy to leave and a competitor of The Real Seal who had previously claimed they were the best in the business and failed to repair an 8 foot crack to the tune of $500!

Austin actually started with that crack and within a reasonable amount of time, not only amazingly provided clear-cut explanations as to why water was continuing to seep into our basement under the area where the expensive repair had taken place, he trouble-shot the issue and before he even left our home, it was: "Water be gone!" In instances where we had a current leaking situation in our basement, Austin trouble-shot the crack or void on the spot-show me another company who actually empowers their employee's to evaluate your basement issue and than STOP the leak, same day-they simply do not exist.

What makes Austin head and shoulders above his competitors is this:
He's a trustworthy, straight-forward PROFESSIONAL.
His first concern is YOUR concern! Getting the issue(s) resolved.
His prices are fair, reasonable and his first priority is getting your home and or basement dry. Every other company we'd previously had either bid or "attempt" to resolve our water issues were either exorbitantly high or greedy-not the case with The Real Seal, LLC or Austin Werner!
Austin is transparent, honest as the day is long, hard-working: In fact, he typically will not leave until your issue is resolved and his customer service and concern for your family's well-being and the status and condition of your home are first on his list. The money part is secondary because he knows that once his customers are thrilled with their newly dried basements, they'll be eager to remunerate him for his fine efforts-I know we were!


My wife, daughter and I all agree that if we could give Austin and The Real Seal, LLC 5000 stars, we would.
Austin Werner and The Real Seal are our "Go To" now.
We wouldn't even consider hiring another crack repair or waterproofing company due to the consistent, professional attitude and skill-set that Austin brings to the table. There is no one better at what Austin does, anywhere in the region and safe to say nor anywhere in the country.
The way we look at it: Illinois is lucky to have a REAL PRO like Austin Werner in it's midst.
