Exterior waterproofing Muskego homeowners actually trust
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 Muskego basement. This is the most thorough way to keep a basement dry, and it fits a high-water-table setting like Muskego well because it seals and drains the wall from outside where the pressure comes from.
Muskego sits around Big Muskego Lake and Little Muskego Lake, wrapped by extensive wetlands, and much of the city carries a notably high water table. Groundwater and hydrostatic pressure press hard on basement walls here, so wet basements are common. The clay-heavy soil swells every spring when the melt and rain soak in. Many older homes have block foundations, and those leak at the cove joint where the wall meets the footing and through cracks in the block. Interior patches cover the inside while the block stays wet, and the water finds another path.
We are based at 2128 Easy St in Waukesha, 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 near Little Muskego Lake had fought a wet wall for years. We sealed the outside and their basement stayed bone-dry through the next spring thaw.
