Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair
in Hermitage, PA
Homeowners in Hermitage, PA face basement waterproofing challenges that combine suburban convenience with Shenango Valley weather extremes. While newer than neighboring towns, many Hermitage homes still contend with clay-heavy soils, aging block foundations, and frequent seasonal storms. Aqua Solutions provides locally engineered basement waterproofing, foundation repair, crawl space encapsulation, and sump pump installation designed to meet the area’s specific soil and drainage conditions — protecting homes year after year.

Why Hermitage Basements Leak
Hermitage sits on dense, clay-based soil that holds water long after a storm. This creates groundwater pressure that pushes against basement walls and floors. Even small cracks or seams can become major leak points during spring thaw or fall storms. Homes built in the 1960s–80s often use hollow-core CMU block walls, which trap water within the block cavities, slowly seeping onto basement floors. Aqua Solutions addresses these problems with modern waterproofing systems that manage both interior and exterior water — before it can cause damage.
Common Basement & Foundation Issues
- Water seeping through block walls or floor joints
- Bowing or leaning foundation walls from soil expansion
- Paint or plaster bubbling due to trapped moisture
- Damp, musty basements or crawl spaces
- Overworked or failing sump pumps
- Cracks forming along basement corners or window wells
