Southeast 10930 W. Potter Rd. Can Leave Leaks Unusual weather patterns have dropped enormous amounts of rain upon Wisconsin this summer. Along with the heavy rain comes flooding, and flood waters can do extensive damage to a home. This can create problems in your basement. A leaky basement is one of the most frustrating problems a homeowner can face, but expensive waterproofing isn't always the answer.
Water problems are often difficult and costly to correct.
Services offered to some consumers have been ineffective or inadequate for the correction of basement water problems. Guarantees given by some contractors are vague and confusing. Due to the abuses of these services, Wisconsin has an unfair trade practice code that protects consumers by regulating basement waterproofing practices. Provide all guarantees in writing. Read these guarantees carefully because many exclude common conditions, such as dampness on basement walls.
