Basement Waterproofing in Green Bay, WI

Soil and water in Green Bay

Green Bay sits at the north end of the Fox River lowland, where WGNHS maps glacial Lake Oshkosh lake sediment, mostly silt and clay where it was deposited in deeper water. (Source: WGNHS, Preliminary Quaternary Geologic Map of the Northern Fox River Lowland.)

Green Bay sits where the Fox River empties into the bay of Green Bay, and it's the Brown County seat.

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.
