Family-operated since 1957.
U.S. Waterproofing is Chicagoland’s largest and longest running basement waterproofing and foundation repair company. A proud family-operated company since 1957, we have grown our business one satisfied customer at a time. Our goal is total peace of mind for our customers through education, comprehensive solutions, and our wealth of experience. The company’s mission statement is not just words on a website; it’s what we believe in and how we do business.
Our History
After his service in World War II, Uncle Al Weiner founded U.S. Waterproofing in a small garage on the north side of Chicago with his three brothers-in-law. The “U.S.” in our name came from the pride Uncle Al felt for our country. Uncle Al’s great nephew, current CEO Matt Stock, learned his family’s business from the ground up. U.S. Waterproofing now has its state of the art headquarters in Schaumburg, where we continue to be an industry leader known for doing right by our customers and providing a rewarding career for hundreds of loyal and hardworking team members.
Our Services
We do more than just keep basements dry. U.S. Waterproofing offers sump pump installation, concrete raising, gutter replacement, downspout replacement, gutter cleaning, crawl space encapsulation, window well solutions, and structural foundation repair. Always consultative we guide homeowners in the right direction, even if it doesn’t mean business for us. We educate homeowners about potential issues many of our customers aren’t aware of, as well as about the importance of taking preventative action to avoid unwanted problems later. U.S. Waterproofing backs up many of its products and services with a lifetime warranty (and when you’ve been around for as long as we have, lifetime means a long time!).

Because we take exceptional care of our employees, they take outstanding care of our customers. Our team is tirelessly dedicated to providing superior work and doing business in an ethical way.
