Exterior waterproofing in Cudahy, WI by a family crew from Waukesha. We dig to the footing, seal the wall, lay new weeping tile and back it for life.
Cudahy homes tend to be modest, solid and older, and a lot of them share one weak spot. A hard summer downpour rolls in off Lake Michigan, the gutters overflow, and by morning there is a puddle along the basement wall. Families here are practical about money, so they want to know the job will be done once. Exterior waterproofing in Cudahy fixes the leak where it starts, on the outside face of the foundation.
The ground under most of the city is heavy glacial clay. It holds rainwater against the wall like a wet sponge, and the old clay tile at the footing, if the house has any, is often crushed or packed with silt after decades of use. Water builds pressure with nowhere to go, then finds every crack and mortar joint. We dig down to the footing, clean and repair the wall, and give that water a clear path away from your house.
Our crew comes from the shop on Easy St in Waukesha. Nick or Luis will look at the wall with you, check the yard slope and the downspouts, and tell you plainly whether the outside is the right place to fix it. You get a written quote, financing if you want it, and a lifetime transferable warranty. When the City of Cudahy requires a permit, we pull it.
When we waterproof a Cudahy foundation from the outside, the work comes down to these four parts:
We dig along the leaking wall down to the footing so the whole face of the foundation can be cleaned, repaired and sealed.
Cracks get hydraulic cement, then the wall gets a thick elastomeric membrane that keeps water off the concrete.
Dimple board gives water a gap to drain down, and new perforated weeping tile at the footing carries it away.
Washed gravel around the tile keeps it draining, then we backfill and grade the soil to slope away from the house.
We look at the wall inside and the grade outside to see where the water gets in.
You get the excavation length, the materials and the price on paper.
Our own crew excavates, repairs and seals the wall, and sets new weeping tile and gravel.
We backfill, regrade, clean up and register your lifetime transferable warranty.
We stand behind every job in Cudahy. If the problem we fixed ever comes back, we return and make it right at no cost, and the warranty passes to the next owner when you sell.
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!
