Basement waterproofing in Lake Hallie
Basement help for Lake Hallie, the village between Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls.
Lake Hallie is one of the valley's newest municipalities. It incorporated as a village in 2003 from part of the town of Hallie, and it had 7,170 residents at the 2020 census. It takes its name from Lake Hallie, an oxbow lake near the Chippewa River, which the Blue Mill used to hold logs after it was built in 1843.
What basements look like here
Much of Lake Hallie's housing was built in the last several decades, with poured foundations and, in many cases, a sump pit from the start. That generally means fewer stone-foundation problems and more calls about pumps that run often, cracks in poured walls, leaky window wells and backfill that has settled toward the house.
Near the river and the lake
Homes on low ground near the Chippewa or the lake can sit closer to the water table, and a sump that cycles frequently in spring is common. A backup pump or high-water alarm protects a finished basement if the main pump fails.
Common Lake Hallie jobs
- Battery backup pumps and alarms
- Window well drains and covers

The village has its own building permit process, so confirm requirements with the Village of Lake Hallie before starting egress or structural work.
