A leaking Hartland basement stopped at the source - we dig to the footing and seal your wall from the outside so water never reaches the inside. Free inspection, lifetime transferable warranty.
When a basement wall keeps leaking, the water is getting in 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 stops before it ever reaches your Hartland 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.
Hartland is a Lake Country village on the Bark River, close to Pewaukee Lake and Nagawicka Lake. The glacial soils here hold water, and the table swings with the seasons. Lakeside lots sit on ground that stays wet, so groundwater lingers near the footing. Older homes around the village center often have block or stone walls that leak at the cove joint and through the porous surface, while newer subdivisions can still get pressure against the wall when the ground saturates.
We are based at 2128 Easy St in Waukesha, a short drive from Hartland, 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 coming in, dig along that wall, seal it, and drain it, then back the work with a lifetime transferable warranty. One homeowner near the Bark River had fought a wet wall for years. We sealed the outside and their basement stayed bone-dry through the next spring thaw.
We dig carefully along the leaking wall to expose it top to bottom, all the way to the footing, so the full face can be sealed. Near the lakes and the Bark River the ground stays wet, so this is slow, deliberate work.
After cleaning the wall and patching cracks with hydraulic cement, we coat the whole surface with a thick elastomeric membrane that seals out the water for good.
A dimpled drainage board gives water an air gap to fall down, and perforated weeping tile at the footing collects it and carries it away from your home.
Clean washed gravel wraps the weeping tile for fast drainage, then we backfill the soil and re-grade so the surface slopes water away from the foundation.
We don't just waterproof your Hartland basement, we stand behind it. If water ever finds its way back through that wall, we come back and make it right at no cost, and the warranty transfers to the next owner.
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!
