Cracked, bowing, or settling walls in your Wauwatosa basement, diagnosed honestly and stabilized for good by our own local family crew. Free inspection, lifetime transferable warranty.
Wauwatosa is an established Milwaukee suburb, and a lot of its charm comes from the old houses. Homes built in the 1920s through the 1950s sit on brick, block, and stone foundations, and those walls have been holding back soil for the better part of a century. When one of them cracks, bows, or settles, it is telling you something. The forces behind it do not stop on their own, so the problem grows if it is left alone.
The Menomonee River runs through town, and the clay soil around these mature neighborhoods swells every spring when it takes on snowmelt and rain. That swelling presses sideways against the wall, and Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles add to it. The result shows up as horizontal cracks partway up a wall, stair-step cracks near the corners, and older walls that lean slowly inward. During a hard rain, some of these basements start taking on water where the seal has given out.
We are a family business, based at 2128 Easy St in Waukesha, and Wauwatosa is a short drive for our crew. Nick and Luis, the owners, are on the job themselves, and we have been repairing walls like these since 1998. One Wauwatosa homeowner called us after another company missed the real source of the water. We found it, sealed and braced the wall, and the basement stayed bone-dry through the spring thaw. Every repair comes with a lifetime transferable warranty.
We clean out the crack and seal it for good with hydraulic cement and structural-grade sealant, stopping water and movement where they start.
High-strength carbon-fiber straps hold a bowing Wauwatosa wall in place with no bulky hardware. A good fit for early inward movement in older block basements.
For walls under heavy clay pressure, steel I-beams anchored floor-to-joist stop inward movement and hold the wall steady for good.
We tell you exactly what needs fixing and what it takes to get it done. You get a straight answer and a written quote you can trust.
We don't just fix your Wauwatosa foundation, we stand behind it. If the problem ever returns, we come back and make it right at no cost, and the warranty transfers to the next owner.
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.
What an amazing job. There aren't enough words to say how much we appreciate Nick, Luis and the crew. The work was beautiful and they left the job site perfect. Thank you so much!
