Harrisburg’s Basement Water Problem — And How to Fix It
Harrisburg homes face a perfect storm of basement water challenges. Between the Susquehanna River’s high water table, heavy summer thunderstorms, and snowmelt in the winter, many basements here experience leaks, seepage, and even full-on flooding.
Even minor water intrusion can cause mold growth, rotting wood framing, and damage to stored belongings. Left unchecked, hydrostatic pressure can also crack foundation walls and shift footings, leading to major repair bills.
At Basement Waterproofing Specialists, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all fixes. We design custom waterproofing systems that match your foundation type, your soil conditions, and your home’s age. Whether you own a historic brick rowhome downtown or a newer build in a Harrisburg suburb, our systems are built to keep water out for life.
