Marshfield Wisconsin Basement Waterproofing Systems, Foundation Repairs

If you’re a home or business property owner in Marshfield, Wisconsin and you’ve noticed signs of a leaking basement in your property – a musty, moldy smell in the air; mildew growing on the walls; puddles of water or a stream of water stretching across the basement floor; trickling water emanating from about a foot up the basement wall – then you’re a prime candidate for basement waterproofing professionals!

Our main advice to anyone seeking help with a leaky basement is this – don’t be fooled by imitation waterproofers. Many, many laborers, handymen and fix-it services will offer services to “fix” your leaky basement, and we’d like to think these men and women mean well about the services they offer. That said, patching cracks in walls and using mold-resistant or even waterproof paints will only bide your time when it comes to the REAL problem causing your leaky basement, and it might even exacerbate the problem!

The true problem causing your basement leak problem is hydrostatic pressure and a failing footer pipe system underground and surrounding your property. These pipes can collapse, wear down with age, even become clogged with dirt and debris. They need replaced, or at least cleaned out, in order to function again and relieve the hydrostatic pressure pushing against your basement walls. Pro waterproofers will know know to fix these issues; amateurs will offer only surface repairs.
