"They are great to work with. Communication was superior. They stand by their work. A few years ago I had waterproofing done in my basement and this time they spray foamed the cavities of the basement too. Both times they did awesome work and cleaned up too! I highly recommend this company!"

"The Kinzler team is amazing! They offered suggestions before completing the work to maximize the effectiveness of the insulation, connected me with a company to do this work, provided timely and well-done work, and filed my rebate information with MidAmerican! The entire team was easy to work with and answered all my questions. Highly recommended!"

"I was very satisfied with the work. The fellow who came out to give me the bid was very knowledgeable, friendly, and did not try to talk me into anything more expensive. I was impressed that he said the solution to my water problem was just one glass block window. And he was right. I waited until after I went through not only a 4-day constant rain, but one torrential rain, to do this report, just to see if it worked. And it did. My basement is dry."

"They installed 5 plates against the wall and attached them to the other side of the driveway where they drilled down. It pulled the wall back up and all is secure and lifetime warranty that is transferable. Happy with results."

"I had a fantastic experience working with the Behncke team recently.  They did some major work on our home.  Our porch was sinking on our 1920's home and they raised the porch and leveled the footings.  They also came in and tore out about 100 feet of concrete sidewalk.  The bid was extremely fair, especially compared to others.  The crew that did the work was extremely professional and pleasant.  My wife works a lot from home and said they were always really great to her when at our home.  Joe even went above and beyond, helping us with some additional clean up at the worksite. Excellent service.  Looking forward to working with Behncke Construction again. <br />"

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Lake Mills, IA

The most affordable way to waterproof your basement is with interior methods like waterproof paint, costing between $1 and $8 per square foot, or silicate concrete sealers priced at $4 to $6 per square foot. However, these solutions are only suitable for certain issues. If your basement moisture is due to more serious problems like a cracked foundation, you'll need more extensive (and costly) repairs.

Absolutely! Waterproofing your basement is a smart investment that can increase your home's value. By keeping your basement dry and free of moisture problems, you protect your home's structural integrity and make it more appealing to potential buyers. Plus, taking proactive measures now can prevent costly water damage repairs down the line.

The time required to waterproof a basement depends on the selected method. Some approaches to interior waterproofing, like paint or sealant, can be completed within a day. Installing new drains or weeping tiles will need at least two to three days of labor. Any forms of exterior waterproofing that require you to excavate land will require an additional three days of work to prepare the ground.

Yes, basement waterproofing can significantly increase your home's value. A dry, leak-free basement is a strong selling point for potential buyers, enhancing your property's desirability and market price. Investing in professional waterproofing not only protects your home's structural integrity but also ensures a healthier living environment by preventing mold and mildew growth.

Waterproofing both the interior and exterior of your basement offers the best protection against moisture. Exterior waterproofing stops water from penetrating your foundation, while interior methods manage any moisture that does enter. If you must choose one, exterior waterproofing is generally more effective, as it prevents water from reaching your home's interior in the first place.
