Exterior waterproofing Greenfield homeowners actually trust
When a basement wall keeps letting water in, the water is coming from the outside, so that is where the real fix belongs. Exterior waterproofing seals the wall on its outer face and drains the water away at the footing, so it is stopped before it ever reaches your Greenfield basement. It is the most thorough way to keep a basement dry, and it is the right call for a chronic leak or a finished space you want to protect.
Greenfield grew up after World War II as a Milwaukee suburb along the Root River corridor, and a lot of the housing stock is 1950s ranch and Cape Cod homes on block foundations. Those walls are now past sixty years old, and the mortar joints have opened up. The clay soil under these yards holds water and swells in spring. When the snow melts and the summer storms roll through, groundwater rises against the basement walls and works its way through the seams in the block.
We are based at 2128 Easy St in Waukesha, and Nick, Luis, and our own crew have been sealing these walls since 1998. During a free inspection we find where the water is really getting in, dig along that wall, seal it, and drain it, then back the work with a lifetime transferable warranty. One homeowner near the Root River had fought a wet wall for years; we sealed the outside and their basement stayed bone-dry straight through the next spring thaw.
