Exterior Waterproofing for Brookfield homes
A lot of Brookfield homes went up between the 1950s and the 1990s, and over the years most of their lower levels got finished. Carpet, built-ins, a bar, a home office, a guest room. That's a lot of space to lose to one wet spring. When the original drain tile along the footing clogs with silt or the clay settles toward the house, water reaches the wall, and the first sign is usually a stained bottom edge on the drywall or a musty smell behind the couch.
Protecting all that finished space means working from the yard side. We excavate along the wall to the footing, pressure-clean it, repair cracks, and apply a liquid waterproof membrane. Dimple board goes on next, then new weeping tile at the footing bedded in washed gravel. We backfill and grade so the ground sheds water away from the foundation. Your drywall, flooring and trim stay where they are, because every step happens on the far side of the wall.
Brookfield yards have had decades to grow in. Mature shrubs, stone edging and patios often sit right on the trench line, and we like to talk about them before the first shovel goes in. Nick or Luis will walk the outside of the house with you, mark what's in the way, and put together a written quote covering the walls to be dug. Financing is available for bigger jobs. When the City of Brookfield requires a permit, we take care of it.
