Exterior waterproofing New Berlin homeowners actually trust
When a basement wall keeps leaking, the water is coming 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, which stops it before it ever reaches your New Berlin basement. It is the most thorough way to keep a basement dry, and it is the right call for a leak that keeps coming back or a finished space you want to protect.
New Berlin sits up on higher glacial-moraine ground, and under a lot of the city the soil is heavy clay. That clay holds water. Every spring the snowmelt and rain soak it, the clay swells, and the saturated soil pushes straight against your foundation. Many of the 1960s and 70s ranch homes here have block basement walls, and those tend to leak at the cove joint where the wall meets the footing and through cracks in the block. Interior patches cover the inside, but the block stays wet and the water finds another path.
We are based at 2128 Easy St in Waukesha, a short drive from New Berlin, and Nick, Luis, and our own crew have been sealing these walls since 1998. New Berlin has an active home-buying market, so a wet basement often shows up right at inspection. One buyer here closed on a house with water damage in the basement, and we solved it with exterior sealing plus drainage. It stayed bone-dry through the next spring thaw, and the lifetime transferable warranty went with it.
