Your Local Foundation & Basement Team in New Berlin
New Berlin Foundation Repair is a local, service-area company that handles the three things that keep a Wisconsin home solid: foundation repair, basement waterproofing, and crawl space work. We work on the ranches, split-levels and two-story homes that make up most of New Berlin and the surrounding communities in Waukesha and Milwaukee counties — homes whose poured-concrete and block basements, original drain tile and sump pumps are now decades old.
Southeastern Wisconsin sits on glacial till full of heavy clay that holds water against basement walls and swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Add long winters where the ground freezes several feet deep, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the spring snowmelt and summer thunderstorms the region is known for, and it's no surprise that basements here seep, walls crack, and foundations settle. We diagnose the real cause and fix it properly — not just the symptom.
Every job starts with a free, no-pressure inspection and a written quote. Call 414-262-5777 or request your free estimate and we'll get back to you quickly.

About New Berlin Foundation Repair
We started as a small local crew tired of seeing homeowners get oversold on foundation work they didn't need — or undersold on work that wouldn't hold. The homes around here are getting older, and the clay soil and hard winters don't make them any easier on their basements. We built this company to give neighbors a straight answer and a repair that lasts.
We're a service-area business, which means we come to you. We're based in and around New Berlin and we work across southeastern Wisconsin — from Muskego and Waukesha out to the lakeshore communities of Oak Creek, South Milwaukee and Cudahy. You won't get a sales pitch, you'll get an honest inspection and a clear plan.

Part of the New Berlin Community
We live and work in the same neighborhoods you do. New Berlin is a city of quiet residential streets, larger lots, and mature trees — the kind of place where people take care of their homes and stay for decades. When a neighbor's basement takes on water after a summer storm or a wall starts to bow after a hard winter, we want to be the crew they trust to set it right. We treat every home like it's down the street from ours, because most of the time it is.
Foundation & Basement Questions, Answered
What does foundation repair usually cost?
There's no single number because the fix depends on what's actually wrong. A hairline crack sealed with injection is a very different job from a wall that's bowing inward and needs steel beams or anchors, or a footing that's settling and needs piers driven to solid strata. That's why we give a free, no-obligation inspection and a written quote before any work starts — so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
Is basement waterproofing worth it?
If your basement takes on water even occasionally, yes. Water at the floor-wall joint, damp walls and puddles after storms all point to hydrostatic pressure and a drainage system that can't keep up. Waterproofing protects the finished space, your belongings, and the foundation itself from the slow damage that repeated wetting and drying causes over years.
Why is my sump pump running nonstop?
A pump that never stops usually means one of three things: a stuck float switch, a failed or missing check valve letting water flow right back in, or a real groundwater problem where water is entering faster than the pump can clear it. A pump cycling every few minutes is wearing itself out and will fail sooner rather than later — it's worth a look before the next storm.
Is a horizontal crack in a basement wall serious?
It can be. A horizontal crack along a mortar joint in a block wall is often the first sign the wall is being pushed inward by soil pressure — different from a vertical or diagonal hairline crack in poured concrete, which is usually cosmetic. If the wall is bowing or the crack is wider than a quarter inch, it should be looked at before it gets worse.
