Exterior waterproofing West Allis homeowners actually trust
When a basement wall keeps letting water in, the leak is coming 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 reaches your West Allis 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.
West Allis is a dense older streetcar suburb, and most of its homes date from the early 1900s through the mid-century. A lot of those houses sit on aging block or brick-and-stone foundations that have held water for decades. The clay soil under the city holds moisture and swells in spring, and that swelling presses on the old walls. When the snow melts and heavy rain arrives, a lot of these basements take on water at the cove joint and through cracks in the block.
We are based at 2128 Easy St in Waukesha, and Nick, Luis, and our own crew have been sealing walls like these since 1998. We serve West Allis every week. During a free inspection we find where the water is really getting in, dig along that wall, seal the aging block from the outside, and drain it, then back the work with a lifetime transferable warranty. One older home we sealed had fought a wet wall for years, and the basement stayed bone-dry through the next spring thaw.
