Foundation Repair in Brookfield, WI

Brookfield is a city in Waukesha County, just west of Wauwatosa and Milwaukee, and it's a different housing picture from the older Milwaukee County neighborhoods we work in. Where Wauwatosa and West Allis are full of 1910s–1950s homes, Brookfield grew mostly from the 1950s on, with many mid-century and newer homes set on larger lots. That means the basements we see here tend to be a bit younger, but they sit on the same heavy glacial clay that runs across southeastern Wisconsin — and clay doesn't care how new the house is.

The larger lots and mature trees in Brookfield bring their own foundation issues. Big trees near the foundation can pull moisture from the clay in dry spells, causing the soil to shrink and the footing to settle. And because the lots are bigger, downspout discharge and grading problems sometimes go unnoticed longer — water has more room to pool away from view before it shows up as seepage at the floor-wall joint. We help Brookfield homeowners with settling, seepage, wall cracks, and the occasional crawl space under an addition or sunroom.

Brookfield is its own city — the City of Brookfield in Waukesha County — and not to be confused with nearby Elm Grove, which is a separate village. We serve both, and we treat each home on its own terms rather than assuming one size fits all.
