Foundation repair and waterproofing in Chenequa, WI for estate homes on Pine Lake and Beaver Lake. Family crew since 1998, careful with your grounds.
Chenequa homes sit on big wooded parcels around Pine Lake and Beaver Lake, and a lot of them are historic lake houses with basements that were poured or laid long before anyone thought about drain tile. Glacial clay holds lake-country groundwater close to those walls, and spring snowmelt runs down long wooded slopes toward the house. When a block wall bows or a corner starts seeping, the fix has to respect the property around it: the mature trees, the stone paths, the planting beds someone spent years on.
We plan the work around your grounds. For a wall that needs exterior waterproofing, we map the dig line with you, protect the landscaping we can keep, and stage equipment where the long driveway can take it. Plenty of problems get solved from inside with carbon fiber straps, steel I-beams, interior drain tile with a battery backup sump, or sealing and a vapor barrier. Egress windows and steel support beams round out the list. When the Village of Chenequa requires a permit, we pull it.
Each crack is cleaned out and packed with hydraulic cement and structural sealant, which shuts off both water and movement at that spot.

They replaced our drain tile, put in a sump pump, set steel beams, and sealed the basement walls - then redid the window wells and buried a downspout outside. The price was competitive and Nick, Luis and the crew explained everything as they went.
What an amazing job. There aren't enough words to say how much we appreciate Nick, Luis and the crew. The work was beautiful and they left the job site perfect. Thank you so much!
