Exterior Waterproofing for West Milwaukee homes
West Milwaukee packs a lot of houses into a small village. Older bungalows and two-flats sit close together with compact yards, and in the two-flats one basement often serves both units. That means one leaky wall affects the owner's storage, the tenant's laundry and everyone's furnace. When water comes in after a storm, it's a problem for two households at once.
Exterior waterproofing fixes the wall so the whole basement stays usable. We dig along the foundation to the footing, clean and repair the block or brick, and seal it with a liquid membrane. Dimple board goes on next, then new weeping tile in washed gravel at the footing, and the backfill is graded to send water away. With a small yard, we plan where soil goes and how equipment gets in before the first shovel goes in.
If you rent out a unit, we'll work with you on timing so tenants know what to expect and still have access to shared areas. Nick or Luis will look at the walls and yard and lay out the scope in a written quote. When the Village of West Milwaukee requires a permit, we pull it.
