Foundation Repair for Hales Corners homes

Hales Corners is a small village tucked between Greendale, Franklin, Greenfield and New Berlin, and it's mostly single-family homes on quiet streets. A lot of those houses sit on older concrete block basements. From our shop in Waukesha it's a quick trip, so when a Hales Corners owner calls about a crack, we can usually get someone there within the week to take a look.

Block walls have a weak spot, and it's the mortar joints. When the glacial clay outside gets soaked in spring and then freezes deep in winter, it presses on the wall and the joints give first. You'll see a stair-step crack climbing across the block, or a long horizontal crack partway up the wall. Left alone, the middle of the wall starts to push inward. That's the moment to brace it, while the movement is still small.

We measure how far the wall has moved from top to bottom, check the corners and look for water coming through the joints. A wall that's just starting to bow gets carbon fiber straps bonded right to the block. A wall that's further along gets steel I-beams anchored at the floor and joists. Cracks get sealed. You get a written quote, and when the Village of Hales Corners requires a permit, we pull it.

What's Included

What foundation repair in Hales Corners includes

Our foundation repair on Hales Corners block walls starts with measuring the movement, and the job 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

Hales Corners foundation repair FAQs

A horizontal crack on a block wall usually means soil is pushing it inward. That's the one we take most seriously. Have it measured soon so the repair stays small.

The goal is to stop the wall from moving further and hold it in place. Carbon fiber straps or steel beams do that. We'll measure the bow and tell you which one fits.

That powder is mineral left behind as water moves through the block and dries. It means moisture is getting in. It's worth checking the joints for cracks while we're there.

We can measure the wall and give you a written quote quickly. Buyers feel better seeing a real scope and a transferable warranty. It often helps keep the sale moving.

Our shop in Waukesha is close, so same-week visits are common. Call (414) 587-3093 and we'll set a time. We're open Monday through Saturday.

Structural bracing can need a permit, depending on the scope. When the Village of Hales Corners requires one, we pull it. We also schedule the inspection.

Not necessarily. Every wall moves differently, even on the same street. We measure yours and recommend only what it needs.

The patch sealed the surface, but the pressure behind the wall is still moving it. The crack reopens as the wall shifts. Bracing the wall stops that, and then the seal holds.

The beams sit tight against the wall and run from floor to joist. They take only a few inches of space. You can finish around them later if you want.

Most interior bracing is done in a day or two. We clean up at the end of each day. You can stay in your home the whole time.
