A leaking Mukwonago 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. It stops the water before it ever reaches your Mukwonago basement. This 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.
Mukwonago is a village along the Mukwonago River near Phantom Lake, and a lot of homes sit on rural, wetland-adjacent lots. The groundwater runs high near the river and the wetlands, and that water pushes hard against basement walls. The clay-heavy glacial soil swells with the spring snowmelt and holds the moisture right against the block. Older block foundations feel it first, leaking at the cove joint where the wall meets the footing and through cracks in the block.
We work out of our shop at 2128 Easy St in Waukesha, a short drive up the road, and Nick, Luis, and our own crew have sealed 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 out near the wetlands had fought a wet wall for years. We sealed the outside and their basement stayed bone-dry straight 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. In Mukwonago clay 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 Mukwonago 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!
