Foundation and waterproofing work in Whitefish Bay
The Tudors and Colonials in Whitefish Bay were built in the 1920s and 1930s, and plenty of them still stand on their original foundations. Owners here tend to love the house as it is: the plaster, the knotty pine rec room downstairs, the built-in bar someone added decades ago. So when water shows up at the base of a paneled wall or a crack appears behind a cabinet, the first worry is usually what has to come apart to fix it. Clay soil and a century of Wisconsin frost wear on old walls, and the damage often hides behind the finishes.
We plan Whitefish Bay jobs around what you want to keep. We figure out where water and movement actually are, then open only what we must. When a wall can't be reached from inside without losing original finishes, exterior waterproofing to the footing protects it from outside. Inside, we do crack repair, carbon fiber and steel beam bracing, drain tile with a sump and battery backup, and wall sealing. We also install egress windows and support beams. When the Village of Whitefish Bay requires a permit, we pull it.
