Winter is Coming. Is Your Basement Ready?
Cool Down
If you’ve had the unique fortune of experiencing even one of Milwaukee’s signature bitterly cold winters, you’re likely part of the large portion of the Milwaukee area who counts down the days to summer. But now, with summer slowly giving way to cooler fall temperatures, it’s time to start thinking about the coming colder months. Not that we’re trying to overlook and not enjoy the last few days of summer, but cooler weather spells changes in our homes’ foundations, basements, and other areas of our homes. When the weather changes, parts of our homes expand and contract; even the slightest amount of shifting can make our homes vulnerable to attracting moisture. And, with snow never far away in Milwaukee, choosing to waterproof your basement before the snow hits is always a smart investment. If you’re considering basement waterproofing before winter arrives, we implore you to read on to learn more about the importance of having reliable basement waterproofing.

Before the Cold Arrives
There’s never a bad time to enlist our basement waterproofing services. However, there are times that are better than others to do so. If you’re thinking of waiting until the snow is gone to waterproof your basement, we’d encourage you to consider some of the following reasons why spring may not be the best time to do so. While many of our Milwaukee area neighbors see spring as a time to clean their homes from top to bottom, basement waterproofing isn’t always the best task to include during this time since spring is often rainy and the snow melts…and then it snows again, leaving lots of water to find its way into your basement.
Taking time to schedule your basement waterproofing before the snow hits is a smart move. Not only is fall in Milwaukee a lovely season, but it’s perfect for having your basement waterproofed. Although the weather is cooling down, it’s usually not cold enough to force your home to contract as much as it would during the winter, allowing us all the space we need to implement our basement waterproofing services.
Why Not Winter?
While getting your basement waterproofing checked off your list before the snow arrives is a good goal to have, we understand if you can’t make this work. Getting your basement waterproofed during winter isn’t impossible; we offer our basement waterproofing service year-round. However, waiting until winter to have us take a look at your basement and foundation does run some risks. If you’ve spent just a bit of time in the Milwaukee area, you know that the snow can show up, melt, and reappear in a matter of days — sometimes in one 24-hour period. This means that there’s a chance the snow could melt and find its way uninvitedly into your basement prior to us finishing the job. Though this risk is rare, it’s often better to have the peace of mind of knowing your basement is waterproofed before the hint of snow.
