Where we waterproof masonry, town by town

We are based in Scranton, so every town here is a short drive. The order is not distance. It is how much pre-1940 stone, creek and river groundwater, and abandoned mine ground each town carries, because that is what decides what your basement needs and what it costs.

  1. 1Dunmore, PA · Lackawanna County · 18512the densest pre-1940 double-block stock in the county on rubble stone foundations, the highest home values of the old coal boroughs, and it shares Scranton's east side hills where hillside groundwater loads foundation walls
  2. 2Carbondale, PA · Lackawanna County · 18407the oldest anthracite city in the region (settled 1820s, gravity railroad 1829) with the oldest housing stock in the county, documented mine fire and subsidence history on the west side, and a Main Street of load-bearing 1880 to 1920 commercial masonry
  3. 3Olyphant, PA · Lackawanna County · 18447Mid Valley coal borough with near-total pre-1930 stock, sits on the Lackawanna River flood plain that took water in 2011, and has the mine-patch housing where rubble foundations were never parged
  4. 4Taylor, PA · Lackawanna County · 18517patch-town stock from the Taylor and Pyne collieries on rubble foundations, Keyser Creek drainage running through the borough, and a long local habit of calling a mason before the water gets worse
  5. 5Old Forge, PA · Lackawanna County · 18518pre-1930 borough stock on rubble stone, the Lackawanna River and St. John's Creek confluence that flooded the lower streets in 2011, and a Main Street restaurant row of older commercial masonry with basements in daily use
  6. 6Dickson City, PA · Lackawanna County · 18519pre-1940 residential core along Main Street and Boulevard Avenue on stone foundations, plus the largest commercial corridor in the county on Business Route 6, which brings block-wall and retaining-wall work the residential boroughs do not
  7. 7Throop, PA · Lackawanna County · 18512colliery-town stock around the former Marvine and Pancoast workings, visible culm banks and documented subsidence ground on the Scranton line, and a Lackawanna River frontage with groundwater basements
  8. 8Clarks Summit, PA · Lackawanna County · 18411a different problem set from the coal boroughs. Post-war ranch and split-level stock on block foundations, hillside lots with spring-fed groundwater in the Abingtons, and the highest property values in the county, which makes exterior membrane work and full drain tile systems routine rather than rare
  9. 9Pittston, PA · Luzerne County · 18640, 18641Greater Pittston sits at the Lackawanna and Susquehanna confluence with a pre-1930 city core on stone, the 1959 Knox Mine disaster ground at Port Griffith, and a downtown of restored 1890 to 1920 commercial masonry that has drawn active reinvestment
  10. 10Wilkes-Barre, PA · Luzerne County · 18701, 18702, 18705the Wyoming Valley seat, with a large pre-1940 stock on stone, the 1972 Agnes flood history that rebuilt the levee system, Solomon Creek and Mill Creek drainage through the neighborhoods, and the biggest concentration of historic commercial masonry in the two valleys around Public Square
