De Pere Wisconsin Basement Waterproofing Systems, Foundation Repairs

De Pere, Wisconsin may have a “fatherly” name to it, but basement leaks and water damage are nothing any family wants in their family tree. Fortunately, professional and well-trained basement waterproofing contractors know how to solve all wet basement problems with the elegance and professionalism of the Godfather – which is perfectly right considering what a “crime” a ruined basement can be!

When t comes to fixing a leaking basement, don’t be fooled by so-called professionals who want to patch your internal cracks and paint the walls with Killz or some other waterproofing agent and then call it a day. Indeed, although such tactics will work in the short term and will make your basement look much better, the real reason behind the leaks will remain…literally behind the leaks.

Behind the walls of your basement lie footer drain pipes, designed to capture unwanted groundwater and move it away from the walls so that the collective hydrostatic pressure does not cause the walls to crack and buckle, letting water into the basement. When these footer pipes collapse or become clogged, they cease to function, water collects in the soil, and the walls begin to be assailed from outside.

Professional waterproofing experts know how to replace or repair footer pipes, as well as use other products and materials inside and outside the foundation walls to make the walls good as new and imperious to water assaults.
