What we do
Eight services, one crew, one warranty
Water
Basement Waterproofing
Stop the water, keep the room.
A dry basement is a drainage problem, not a paint problem. We relieve the water pressure under and beside your foundation and give the water somewhere to go, so the room stays dry through the wettest spring Lancaster County can produce.
Sump Pump Systems
The one thing that cannot fail at 2am.
A sump pump is the last line between a storm and your finished basement, and it always fails on the night the power goes out. Ours are sized for the water you actually get, sealed against radon and humidity, and backed up on battery.
Drainage Solutions
Move the water before it reaches the wall.
The cheapest waterproofing is the water that never gets to your foundation. Exterior drainage is where we start on most Lancaster County properties, and sometimes where we finish.
Structure
Foundation Repair
Walls back where they belong.
Bowing walls, stair-step cracks and settling corners are the foundation telling you the soil around it has won an argument. We stabilize the structure first, then deal with the water that caused it.
Basement Finishing
Finish it on a dry foundation.
We waterproof for a living, which makes us unusually careful about what we will build on. Finish the space after the water is handled and it stays finished.
Crawl Space & Air
Crawl Space Repair
The room under your floor counts.
Half the air in your first floor came from your crawl space. If it is damp down there, you are breathing it upstairs — and the joists are paying for it.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Seal it once, properly.
Encapsulation is a sealed liner across the floor and up the walls, with the moisture controlled rather than vented. Done right it is the single biggest change you can make to how the whole house feels.
Mold Remediation
Remove it, then remove the reason.
Mold is a symptom. We contain and remove the growth, treat the surfaces, and then fix the moisture that grew it — because remediation without waterproofing is a repeat appointment.
Where you live changes the job
Four kinds of ground. One county. Four different fixes.
A company that quotes the same system in Adamstown and Quarryville is guessing. Where your house sits decides how water reaches your foundation, and that decides what actually stops it.
Limestone valley floor
Interior French drain tied into a sealed sump basin with a battery backup, because the volume shows up fast and all at once. Wall vapor barrier where the block has been wicking.
Northern red shale and clay
Interior drain at the footing to relieve the pressure, plus wall reinforcement (carbon fiber or steel) anywhere the block has started to move. Exterior grading and downspout extensions to stop feeding the clay.
Southern schist uplands
Drainage on the uphill side first — interior drain plus exterior interception where the grade allows — and a discharge line routed far enough downslope that it does not simply return.
Susquehanna river terraces
Sub-slab drainage with a high-capacity sealed sump and battery backup, mortar repointing on stone walls, and encapsulation where the space is unfinished.
