"Dave with 2 other workers were prompt and efficient. They came when they said they would and finished everything in 2 days. Everything looks fantastic because they protected my personal space with a plastic shield and cleaned everything up. Dirt and rubble was hauled away and they even sprayed my walkways outside. They installed the basement system and connected all my outside downspouts. I would highly recommend Highlander to anyone who needs waterproofing because they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy."

"This is the second time we have hired Groundworks (formerly Bakers Waterproofing) to perform work at our house. The first project was in 2017 when we had the waterproofing system installed. We called Groundworks a few weeks ago to get an estimate on lifting our front sidewalk and stairs that have sunk a lot over the past year. The steps had sunk to the point that the railings were not connected to the house, making it very unsafe for anyone coming into the front of our home. Aaron Lenker & Corbin Gillichbover were very professional and knowledgeable when they arrived to assess our sidewalk and steps to lift them. They left our sidewalk and the surrounding area better than when they arrived. Our steps and sidewalk are now level, and the railings are securely attached to the house again. We are thrilled! I would highly recommend Groundworks if you need a basement waterproofing system or any concrete lifted."

"Seamless experience from start to finish. Todd was super knowledgeable and through on the consult/ sales end. The install team made quick work of the project. Their work was top notch and my basement is now completely dry. I would recommend their services to anyone with basement or foundation issues."
Stair-step cracks on your foundation wall are a common sign of foundation problems caused by settlement and soil issues.

SaniDry Sedona is the world's most efficient, high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system and is a crucial element in basement waterproofing and crawl space repair. As a result of its compact size, it occupies less space in a basement and can easily be tucked away in a crawl space. The unit eliminates damp, musty odors by drying and filtering the air, and it costs less to run than other dehumidifiers. It filters mold spores, dust mite droppings, dust and other particles, and it keeps hu

"Was extremely pleased with my overall experience and with the finished results. I appreciated that Dave was on time for our initial meeting and that he explained the process of waterproofing my basement in a manner that made me feel comfortable. Dave, Jim, and their crew were professional and had a great work ethic. I was also given some helpful suggestions to improve drainage on the exterior of my home. I am extremely happy with my "new" basement and would recommend them to others."

"The work was messy but The crew was very hard working. The jackhammer hit a pipe under our sink. They came back to fix that. While the amount of water was drastically reduced in our basement, I will never feel secure enough to finish it. They have returned 4-5 times to troubleshoot the problem because their service has a lifetime guarantee. The last time they came (2 years after original job) they added another sump pump and redug one of the ditches. It seems to have helped but I still see a very small amount of water seeping through a few cracks in the floor. With two small kids in the house, it's exhausting to keep having service people in and out of your house. I'm not happy it took so many visits, but I think overall that they were fairly quick in responding to my calls and getting out to our house."

"Phil Sr. evaluated the waterproofing project previously done by another company. He advised as to what was done incorrectly and how his company would address this project properly. The work was done on a timely basis with a very courteous, efficient, and hard working team. I would highly recommend The Basement Expert as they are a fine company who cares about their customer's satisfaction."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Begin by documenting any existing water issues and taking photos after heavy rain, as Scranton’s weather can reveal hidden leaks. Consult with contractors who specialize in local soil and foundation types, and plan work during drier months for best results. Make sure to communicate with neighbors if your property lines are close, and confirm that all utility lines are clearly marked before starting excavation or drainage work.

Helpful?

In Scranton, recurring damp spots after storms, musty odors, or new cracks in basement walls can signal that waterproofing systems are failing. Efflorescence—white, chalky deposits—on masonry, pooling water near sump pumps, or visible mold growth are also warning signs. If you notice increased humidity or peeling paint, it’s wise to have a professional assess whether your waterproofing needs updating.

Helpful?

In Scranton, basement waterproofing is often needed along foundation walls facing hillsides or near mature trees, where root growth and runoff can increase moisture risks. Window wells, stairwell entries, and floor-to-wall seams are common trouble spots. Homes with stone or block foundations, typical in Scranton, may also develop leaks at mortar joints or where older drainage systems have failed over time.

Helpful?

Combining basement waterproofing with other home upgrades in Scranton can be a smart strategy, especially for older properties. Consider scheduling waterproofing alongside foundation crack repair, installing new drainage systems, or updating basement insulation. Coordinating these projects can minimize disruption, streamline inspections, and help ensure that all systems work together to prevent future moisture problems unique to Scranton’s climate and soil conditions.

Helpful?

Scranton homeowners increasingly choose interior French drains with battery backup sump pumps, which help manage heavy rainfall and snowmelt. Mold-resistant wall panels, vapor barriers, and energy-efficient basement dehumidifiers are also popular. Many are opting for exterior grading improvements to direct water away from foundations, as well as smart monitoring systems that alert to leaks—features that address Scranton’s frequent wet weather and older home construction.
