The crew doing the repairs was professional and the coordination with needed electrician and plumber went smoothly. You even rebuilt our wooded shelving against the wall as it had previously been damaged by moisture...which we didn't know. So this was quite an unexpected \"gift\" and very much appreciated. Brian Krammer who initially did the evaluation was very thorough and really explained the process and spent several hours at the house. So we felt he knew what he was doing. Truly the entire process went smoothly. Can't say enough about how polite the crew us!!! And a great cleanup afterwards.

We needed to fix our front door stoop which was pulling away from the house; along with our sidewalk which had sunk by about 4 inches; and our lean-to which had also settled so much so that it may have caused a cinder block wall to fail. Jesse's quote was honored even though it took us a few months to save up for it. The 2 guy crew that did the job were AMAZING!! My husband (who has extensive construction background) was impressed and extremely satisfied! The project tuned out way better than he (or I) expected!Thanks guys!!Quality of Work:Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars.Comment: \"\"Overall Punctuality:Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars.Comment: \"\"Professionalism of Company:Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars.Comment: \"\"Responsiveness:Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars.Comment: \"\"

Bill Peterson, the service rep who assisted me with purchasing a new dehumidifier, was knowledgeable, professional, informative, and credible. He installed the new unit with no disruption or clean up on my part. Excellent service!

Tom let us explain our water problems and then he presented the correct solution to our problem.  We chose Badger because you were the only one to give us the correct solution to our window wells without digging down to the drain tile and it was economical.   The crew was very courteous and they answered any questions that we may have had.  They were friendly and knowledgeable.

Very impressed with the products and sales team, but even more impressed with the installation team.  Very prompt, professional, and took the time to explain what was happening and who to contact if anything goes wrong. Finally have the peace of mind to finish the basement and not to worry about incoming moisture.  Thank you!

    As this Kenosha homeowner found out, having to deal with a damp, unusable crawlspace is not your only option.  To help with their issue, we used SmartPipe for drainage, a SmartSump and Drainage Matting along with CleanSpace. 

    They can now store items in their dry, usable crawlspace!

    Sagging Floors and a Wet Basement

    We were called to this home in Kenosha, WI when the homeowners were tired of having to clean up water every time it rained.  They were also concerned about the floor above the basement because it started to sag.  This home already had some posts in the basement but they were failing, resulting in the floor above to sag. 

    We came in and not only took care of the water issue, but installed our SmartJack System.  This system is made of galvanized steel which will not rust, provides immediate stabilization and lift and has a high capacity supporting over 60,000 lbs. 

    The SmartJacks replaced their failing posts and now will provide them with the protection and security that they have been looking for.

    There was moisture in the crawlspace of this Union Grove home and the homeowners wanted to repair it.  We paired our CleanSpace vapor barrier with a dehumidifier to dry up this space.  Now that it is clean and dry, this space is safe to use for storage if they would like.  There is also no more worry about the damage that the moisture could be causing or the musty smell that it caused.

    South Milwaukee Crawlspace Repair

    This homeowner in South Milwaukee was looking to make their large crawlspace a usable storage space.  There was some plastic laid on the floor but there was no proper installation and no water control to help with the water that was getting in.  

    We installed an interior drainage system along with a SmartSump which will take the water and pump it away from the house.  We then covered the crawlspace with CleanSpace which will seal out the moisture and allow this space to be used for storage just as they wanted.
