Lemont basements come in two very different versions. Older homes near the historic downtown on the hill often have no drainage below grade and deserve an honest evaluation before anyone promises a bathroom. Newer construction on the ridges usually arrives with deep foundations and a rough-in ready to finish.
We build both. Ejector systems handle homes where the sewer line sits above the slab, and straightforward rough-in finishes handle the new builds. Every project gets a free in-home design consultation, an itemized quote, and permits handled, with typical builds running 6 to 12 weeks.
It starts with a free in-home design consultation. We measure your basement, check moisture and mechanicals, and talk through how you want the space to live. You get a design and an itemized quote, we handle permits and inspections, and one team runs the build from the first cut to the final walkthrough. Most projects take 6 to 12 weeks of construction.
Usually yes, but we verify before we promise. The evaluation checks where your sewer line exits, the slab condition, and ceiling height in the space. If gravity drainage is impossible, an ejector system pumps waste up to the main line. If the numbers genuinely do not work, we tell you that too.
A sealed basin set into the slab collects waste from the toilet, shower, and sink, and a pump lifts it to your main sewer line. The basin is covered, vented, and quiet in normal use. It is the standard solution across older Lemont homes and it supports a full three-piece bath.
They are one of the best upgrades below grade. Electric radiant mats go under the tile and take the chill out of a concrete slab, which matters more in a basement than anywhere else in the house. The system runs on its own thermostat and adds modest cost during tiling.
Tell us about your basement and we will follow up within one business day to set up an in-home visit.
