Serving Menomonee Falls Since 1981
A Big Village With Every Era of Home
Menomonee Falls covers a lot of ground. Homes near the historic downtown and along the Menomonee River include some of the village's oldest, while large neighborhoods of ranches and split-levels went up in the 1950s through the 1970s, and newer subdivisions keep spreading north and west.
That means we see a little of everything here: block walls cracking under clay pressure, aging drain tile in mid-century basements and poured walls in newer homes that leak at cracks and tie-rods. Homes in lower areas near the river can also see high groundwater after storms.
Whatever the age of your home, we'll find what's causing the problem and give you a straight answer and a written estimate.

How We Help Menomonee Falls Homeowners
Bowing WallsBowing Wall Bracing
Horizontal cracks and leaning block walls are common in Menomonee Falls homes from the 1950s through the 1970s. Steel braces stop the movement from inside.
Walls that have moved too far can be excavated and straightened.
Caught early, a moving wall is a straightforward fix. Waiting usually means a bigger repair, which is why we recommend having any leaning wall in your Menomonee Falls home measured sooner rather than later.
Bowing Wall Repair
WaterproofingInterior Drain Tile & Sump Systems
When older drain tile fails, new interior drain tile and a sump give groundwater a way out.
It's especially effective in lower areas near the river.
When the work is done, the trench is patched with fresh concrete and the basement is cleaned up, so you can get back to using the space. It's one of the most dependable ways to keep a Menomonee Falls basement dry year after year.
