Foundation Repair for Greendale homes

Greendale was laid out in the late 1930s as a planned greenbelt village, and many of the original homes are still standing, lived in and loved. The people who own them tend to care a lot about keeping the character of the house. We get that. When we come to look at a Greendale foundation, we treat the house as something to preserve, and we plan the repair so it disturbs as little of the original home as possible.

Those early village homes often have small basements with walls that have been through more than eighty Wisconsin winters. Frost, spring snowmelt and heavy glacial clay have pushed on them year after year. Cracks show up, old patches let go, and now and then a wall starts to lean. Later Greendale neighborhoods have their own issues, but the older basements need the gentlest touch because space is tight and access is limited.

Most of our work in a small basement happens from inside. Cracks get sealed with hydraulic cement or structural sealant, early bowing gets carbon fiber straps, and a wall that has moved further gets steel I-beams anchored floor to joist. Nick or Luis will explain the options plainly and give you a written quote. When the Village of Greendale requires a permit, we pull it and work with the inspector.

What's Included

What foundation repair in Greendale includes

Every foundation repair in Greendale is planned around the house itself, and the work comes down to these four parts:

Crack repair with hydraulic cement

Each crack is cleaned out and packed with hydraulic cement and structural sealant, which shuts off both water and movement at that spot.

Carbon fiber reinforcement

Carbon fiber straps bonded to the wall hold a block or poured wall that has only started to bow, with a low profile you can finish over.

Steel I-beam bracing

For walls that have moved further, steel I-beams anchored at the floor and the joists hold the wall where it is and keep it there.

A straight structural assessment

We measure the wall, find where the pressure comes from, and put the fix and the price in writing before any work starts.

What homeowners say about our crew

★★★★★

They replaced our drain tile, put in a sump pump, set steel beams, and sealed the basement walls - then redid the window wells and buried a downspout outside. The price was competitive and Nick, Luis and the crew explained everything as they went.

Questions, Answered

Greendale foundation repair FAQs

Almost all of our foundation work happens inside the basement. The outside of your home stays the way it is. We plan the job so the original house is disturbed as little as possible.

Yes. Carbon fiber straps and crack repair need very little equipment, and steel beams go in pieces. We've worked in plenty of tight basements. We'll check access during the visit.

Loose or failing patches usually need to come off so the repair bonds to solid material. We only remove what we need to. You'll see what's coming off before we start.

Usually, yes. Older walls can be sealed and braced to hold for a long time. We'll give you an honest read on the wall's condition after we measure it.

A wall leaning in at the top is moving under soil pressure, so it deserves attention soon. Bracing it early is simpler. We'll measure how far it has moved and explain the options.

Some structural repairs need a permit. When the Village of Greendale requires one, we pull it and handle the inspection. You don't need to chase anything.

We contain the work area and clean up each day. Crack sealing and bracing are fairly tidy jobs. We'll talk through how we protect the rest of the house before we start.

Most cracks and bowing walls are repaired from inside. Your garden stays as it is. Digging only comes up if a wall has moved too far to hold from inside.

It's possible. Settling or shifting walls can pull door frames out of square. A look at the basement walls will tell you whether the foundation is part of it.

It's our own crew, and often Nick or Luis in person. They'll walk the basement with you and show you what they find. You'll get the quote in writing.
