Basement Waterproofing in Neenah, WI

Soil and water in Neenah

According to the state survey, the Green Bay Lobe's final minor advance reached Neenah before the ice receded, and Winnebago County's landscape is coated mainly with silt and clay lake sediment.

Neenah sits at the north end of Lake Winnebago, where the lake drains into the Fox River.

Common basement waterproofing calls

• Water on the floor after heavy rain or snowmelt
• Damp walls or white mineral deposits (efflorescence)
• Musty smell in the basement
• Planning to finish the basement and want it dry first

There are two broad approaches: managing water that gets in (interior drain tile and a sump pump) or stopping it at the wall from outside (excavation and exterior membrane). A local pro can inspect and explain which fits your home.
