Exterior Waterproofing for Lac La Belle homes
Lac La Belle is a small village wrapped around one lake, right beside Oconomowoc, and most of its homes look out at the water. That view comes with a wet foundation to live with. Groundwater near the shoreline sits high, the glacial clay stays soaked after spring melt, and a long summer storm can push water through a basement wall that stayed dry for years. When that happens, exterior waterproofing is the fix that deals with the water at the wall itself, from the outside.
Many lake houses here started as modest cottages and got added onto over the decades. That often means more than one foundation under one roof: an old block section, a newer poured addition, and a seam between them where water likes to find its way in. We check each wall and each joint on its own. Where the old block has cracked or the addition has pulled away, we repair it before any membrane goes on, so the waterproofing sits on a sound wall.
The job itself runs in a steady sequence. We excavate to the footing, clean the wall, fix what needs fixing, roll on a liquid waterproof membrane, and hang dimple board over it. New weeping tile goes down at the footing in washed gravel, and the backfill is graded so rain and melt head off toward the lake and away from your wall. When the Village of Lac La Belle requires a permit, we take care of it.
