Basement Waterproofing Questions
Essential information about water control and waterproofing services
Why choose Basement Repair Specialists for waterproofing in Wisconsin?
Basement Repair Specialists is the 2025 BBB Torch Award for Ethics Winner for Wisconsin, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to integrity and transparency. The company follows engineered standards, installs drain tile at the footing (not on top of it) for superior water control, and maintains competitive pricing through low overhead. Their trademarked promise “A Great Job at a Great Price!®” means you get quality work without paying double what competitors charge.
What areas does Basement Repair Specialists serve?
With headquarters in Appleton and locations in Green Bay, Madison, and Milwaukee, Basement Repair Specialists serves homeowners throughout Wisconsin. Their 24/7 availability and free 1-hour inspections make professional waterproofing accessible to families across the state, from the Fox Cities to southeastern Wisconsin.
What’s the difference between water control and waterproofing?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, Basement Repair Specialists prefers “water control” because it’s more accurate. Both approaches move water away from foundation walls to a drain tile system connected to a sump pump. The company is transparent that no system can guarantee water will never enter your basement during extreme events like river flooding or sewer backups, but proper water control eliminates most water problems effectively.
What waterproofing methods does Basement Repair Specialists use?
The company offers both exterior waterproofing (excavating foundation walls, adding new drain tile, and waterproofing the wall) and interior water control systems (installing socked drain tile along the interior perimeter leading to a sump pump). Their interior system always installs drain tile at the footing level – the most effective approach – rather than on top of the footing like some competitors.
Does Basement Repair Specialists offer financing?
Yes, Basement Repair Specialists offers financing options including 6 months with no payments and no interest. This makes essential waterproofing and foundation repairs accessible to Wisconsin homeowners who need to protect their homes but want manageable payment terms.
