Basement waterproofing in Ashwaubenon, WI
Help for the village between Green Bay and De Pere, home to Titletown and the airport.
Ashwaubenon is a village of 16,991 people (2020 census) on Green Bay's southwest side. It includes Titletown, the district on the west side of Lambeau Field, along with the Packers' practice facilities and Austin Straubel International Airport. The village's listed elevation is 607 feet, about 26 feet above the bay's water level.
What kinds of basements are common?
Housing in the village runs from older ranches and two-stories with block basements to newer homes with poured walls. Block basements of that era often show stair-step cracking, efflorescence and seepage at the bottom course, while poured walls tend to leak at shrinkage cracks and around window wells.
Why water gets in here
Ashwaubenon shares the clay-rich glacial soils that cover Brown County. The Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey describes reddish till units averaging about 38 percent clay. On flat lots, water from roofs and lawns has little slope to run off, so it soaks in beside the foundation. Spring snowmelt, piled-up snow along driveways and short downspouts are frequent triggers.
Common jobs in Ashwaubenon
- Drain tile and sump upgrades in block basements
- Carbon fiber or beams for walls with horizontal cracks
- Window well drainage and covers
- Downspout extensions and regrading on flat lots

Why does my flat yard send water into the basement?
With little slope, roof and lawn water soaks in right beside the foundation instead of running away, and clay soil holds it there. Downspout extensions and regrading help.
