Foundation and waterproofing work in River Hills
Homes in River Hills are bigger than most, and so are their basements. A large custom house can have well over a hundred feet of foundation wall, finished rooms along most of it, and a lot sitting on heavy clay near the Milwaukee River. More wall means more places for a crack to open or seepage to start, and a finished basement hides the early signs until the carpet is wet. Outside, long driveways, stone walls and mature plantings make access something to plan carefully.
We treat River Hills work like any job with a lot to protect. We plan the route for equipment, lay down protection on driveways and lawns, and keep digging to the spots that need it. Inside, we repair cracks, brace walls with carbon fiber or steel beams, and install drain tile with a sump and battery backup. For full protection at the source, we excavate and waterproof the outside of the wall. We also do vapor barriers, support beams and egress windows. When the Village of River Hills requires a permit, we pull it.
