Why Mercer Homeowners Choose Aqua Solutions

Mercer borough, the county seat, has a rich history reflected in its housing stock, with many homes dating back over a century. These homes often feature stone or early block foundations that were never designed to handle the water management expectations of modern homeowners. Aqua Solutions serves Mercer with the same local expertise we bring to every community in the county.

Mercer sits at the geographic center of Mercer County, where the Neshannock Creek watershed influences local groundwater. Many homes near the borough center sit on clay-heavy soils that hold water and create hydrostatic pressure against foundations. The mix of historic and mid-century homes means a wide variety of foundation types, each with unique waterproofing needs.
