Serving Brookfield Since 1981
Larger Homes, Bigger Basements
Brookfield grew from the 1950s through the 1990s into a city of larger suburban homes, many with full basements that owners have finished into rec rooms, home theaters and guest suites. That's a lot of living space to protect.
Most Brookfield homes sit on heavy clay that holds water against the foundation after storms and spring thaw. Older homes have block walls and aging drain tile, while newer ones have poured walls that can still leak at cracks and tie-rods.
We'll find exactly what's causing your problem and recommend a fix that protects your finished space, with a written estimate and no pressure.

Common Basement Problems in Brookfield Homes
Leaks behind drywall and flooring often go unnoticed until damage is done.
Poured walls crack as they cure and can leak once the ground is saturated.
Finishing a lower level often means adding a code-compliant egress window.

How We Help Brookfield Homeowners
Wall LeaksLeaking Walls
Leaking cracks and tie-rods in Brookfield's poured walls are sealed from inside with injection, usually in a few hours.
Older block walls get drainage that captures water inside the cores.
We'll show you exactly where the water is getting through and explain why we're recommending one repair over another, so there are no surprises on your Brookfield project.
Wall Leak RepairWindowsEgress Windows & Window Wells
If you're adding a bedroom to your finished basement, we install code-compliant egress windows with wells that drain.
They add light, safety and value without adding a new leak.
Every window and well we install is set to drain properly, so it adds light and safety to your Brookfield basement without adding a new leak.
Egress Windows
ExteriorExterior Waterproofing
For finished basements you don't want to tear apart, exterior waterproofing keeps water off the wall entirely.
We excavate, seal, add drainage and restore the yard.
It's a bigger project than interior work, but for the right Brookfield home it's the most complete protection you can get.
Exterior Waterproofing
Sump PumpsSump Pumps & Battery Backups
Large basements need dependable pumping. We install properly sized pumps and battery backups.
For very wet lots, a second pump adds protection.
We test the system before we leave and walk you through how it works, so you know your Brookfield basement is protected the next time a storm rolls through.
