Okauchee Lake is an unincorporated community in the Town of Oconomowoc, Waukesha County, named for the lake it surrounds. It is part of the Lake Country chain north-east of Oconomowoc, and the ZIP 53069 serves the shoreline.
Lakefront homes here often have lower levels close to the waterline. That makes sump pumps, groundwater and the level of the lake the likely local water risks, and a crew measures the lower wall and the sump pit before deciding what kind of drying job it is.

Hard freezes from December to February, the March and April snowmelt on frozen ground, summer thunderstorms that lift the Rock, Crawfish and Bark rivers, and humid late summers decide which water problems are most likely around Sullivan from week to week.
Why do lower levels near the Okauchee Lake waterline take on water?
A lower level close to the waterline sits in the ground that holds the lake's groundwater, so a high water period can push moisture into the foundation. The first sign is usually dampness on the lower wall and a sump pit that stays busy long after a storm.
A crew checks whether the water is coming from the ground, from a window well or from a pump that has stopped. Each has a different fix, and the drying plan waits for that answer.
What should a shoreline owner check after a wet spell?
Look at the lowest wall for a line of moisture, check the sump pump for power and whether the discharge line is clear, and note the day the water first showed. Those three facts help a technician decide where to start.
Before the crew arrives, photograph the water and any stored items that are wet. The photographs are useful to the owner and to the insurer, and they cost nothing to take.
