If you live in Northumberland County, PA, you know how unpredictable the weather can be. From heavy summer storms to snowmelt in the winter, basements here often struggle with water intrusion, damp air, and foundation cracks. Left untreated, these issues can cause mold growth, structural damage, and decreased home value.

Why Basements Leak in Northumberland County
Hydrostatic pressure: Water in the soil pushes against basement walls.
- Freeze-thaw cycles: Expanding and contracting cracks weaken older foundations.
- Poor drainage: Gutters and grading that direct water toward the home.
- Aging block or stone walls common in older Sunbury and Shamokin homes.
Our Permanent Waterproofing System will Keep Your Basement Dry… For Good…
We don’t believe in quick fixes like paints or sealants. Instead, we install custom systems designed for your home, including:
- Interior French drains that collect groundwater under the slab. Drainage is key to managing water and keeping your basement (or crawl space) dry and mold-free
- High-capacity sump pumps with optional battery backup.
- Patented crack repair that permanently seals and prevents spreading. We do NOT use simple epoxies to stop your home’s foundation cracks from worsening. This is NOT how you fix your foundation.
Exterior waterproofing & grading solutions where accessible.
- Vapor barriers and dehumidification for long-term moisture control.
