Exterior waterproofing Sussex homeowners actually trust
When a basement wall keeps leaking, the water is coming from outside the foundation, and that is where the real fix belongs. Exterior waterproofing seals the outer face of the wall and drains the water away at the footing, so it stops before it ever reaches your Sussex 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.
Sussex is a growing village in the Lisbon area, sitting near the headwaters of the Fox River. The ground here is glacial clay, and that clay holds water. Every spring the snowmelt saturates it, the soil swells, and it presses against your foundation walls. The village mixes older block-foundation homes with newer subdivisions, and both feel it. The older block walls tend to leak at the cove joint and through cracks in the block, and interior patches only cover the inside while the block stays wet.
We run our shop out of 2128 Easy St in nearby Waukesha, 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 getting in, dig along that wall, seal it, and drain it, then back the work with a lifetime transferable warranty. One homeowner we worked with had fought a wet wall for years. We sealed the outside, and the basement stayed bone-dry straight through the next spring thaw.
