Basement Waterproofing in Doylestown, PA

A. Pennacchi & Sons traces water in Doylestown basements back to the foundation and proposes the repair that closes the entry point.

Basement Waterproofing in Doylestown, PA

Waterproofing For Doylestown And Central Bucks County

A damp basement in Doylestown often starts small: a musty smell, then a dark patch at the base of a wall after heavy rain. A. Pennacchi & Sons treats that early sign as a lead, not a nuisance, and follows the water back to the point where it enters the foundation.

We have been a family masonry and waterproofing company since 1947, and our historic restoration record includes work in Doylestown. Bucks County homeowners can reach our Pennsylvania line at (484) 414-4975.

You can also request an estimate online.

Different Foundations, Different Fixes

A stone foundation, a block foundation and a poured concrete foundation each leak in their own way, and each needs a different fix. Because A. Pennacchi & Sons is a masonry company as well as a waterproofing contractor, the wall repair and the waterproofing come from the same crew.

Services

Foundation wall dug out and sealed from the outside

Interior Drainage And Sump Pumps

A drain along the inside of the basement walls, carrying water to a sump pump.

Exterior Waterproofing

Digging along the outside so the wall can be sealed and drained from outside.

Foundation Crack And Joint Repair

Sealing and repair where water is coming through.

Window Well Drainage

Correcting wells that hold water against the wall.

For commercial and multi-unit buildings, we also offer below and above grade waterproofing for foundations, terraces and parking decks. When the walls themselves need work, see our interior and exterior restoration services.

What The Site Visit Looks At

  • Where the water shows up inside, and when.
  • What the foundation is built from and its condition.
  • How the yard slopes, where the gutters drain, and the window wells.
  • Room to dig outside if exterior work makes sense.

The answers decide whether the repair is a crack seal, interior drainage, exterior waterproofing, or a masonry repair to the wall itself.

A Customer On Diagnosis

They sent Nick, who did an excellent job diagnosing the problem, finding the most likely seepage site, and then repairing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do You Serve Doylestown From New Jersey?
Yes. A. Pennacchi & Sons serves Bucks County, including Doylestown, Newtown, New Hope and Yardley. Call our Pennsylvania line at (484) 414-4975.
Can A Sump Pump Alone Stop A Flooded Basement?
Usually not. A pump removes water that has already collected. Without drainage feeding it, or an exterior repair that keeps water off the wall, water keeps finding new places to pool.
Should I Choose Interior Or Exterior Waterproofing?
Exterior work stops water before it reaches the wall. Interior drainage manages water after it comes through. The foundation type and the entry point decide which one fits, which is what the site visit settles.
How Do I Know If My Basement Needs Waterproofing?
Water after rain, a musty smell, mold or mildew, or a white crust on the walls all mean water is getting in. A. Pennacchi & Sons inspects any of these, whether it looks small or not.

“I had a roofer come out for a small leak in my attic. He fixed it and while up on the roof took pictures of my chimney. Told me I had a big problem. Lot of mortar missing. I called A. Pennacchi & Sons. Paul came out the next day. He told me what needed to be done and gave me a price. I asked him if I should add a few bricks to the top. He said "why do you want to spend more money?" What contractor says that? The men came out a few days later. On time, polite, got right to work, and cleaned up like they were never there. Paul had given me a choice of colors. His price was the best one. My chimney now looks absolutely beautiful. I would give them 10 stars.”

“Great experience with Paul and the Pennacchi team. We contracted this firm to waterproof our basement and replace our basement windows. Nick was excellent at coordinating the effort, including preparation, window replacement, waterproofing, clean up, and follow up to inquire about and resolve a few questions. Happy to recommend Pennacchi and Sons.”

“Pennacchi sealed our basement 2 years ago. After a recent heavy rain we noticed seepage and asked Pennacchi to look at it. They sent Nick, who did an excellent job diagnosing the problem, finding the most likely seepage site, and then repairing it. Nick came by the next day, inspected the repair, and also improved sealing of 2 utility pipe entries. The rapid response, competency, diligence, and follow-up were excellent.”

“We are so impressed with Pennacchi & Sons. Multiple people recommended this company as the best in the region. For a company with a huge legacy, working throughout the county, there was no hesitation to see what our small job looked like and whether they could help. The crew was friendly, timely, and efficient. Ray walked us through the process, gave us a play-by-play for the best understanding of the work, and answered tons of questions. The end result was better than the original.”

“Pennacchi has an exceptional reputation and we now have firsthand experience of their stellar work. The precision craftsmanship and professionalism are impressive. We had our chimneys repointed, brickwork restored, and a basement wall resealed. It all blends seamlessly and looks gorgeous. Ask for Sam as your foreman if you can, he was amazing. The entire crew was fantastic. Kudos to Paul and the leadership for building a great team. Impeccable service and beautiful finished product.”

“Water was getting into my house because of the old brick exterior. It needed to be repointed and painted on the interior. Although this was a very small job, Paul and his son Paul Junior were incredibly professional, listened, and addressed my concerns. I left their crew to complete the work without being home and everything was safe and secure when I got back. They kept their work areas clean and took away their trash. Paul’s price was the most competitive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“My basement was leaking really bad and had 2 different companies come out and try to fix the problem with no luck. Decided to try a third time and luckily I came across APS. They came out and did amazing work and solved all my issues. Put in a French drain, sump pump, and stuccoed the walls. They had to fix all the problems the other companies did, and it was a great experience working with them. Paul was extremely professional. Highly recommend if you need the job done right the first time.”

“We hired Pennacchi and Sons to waterproof our basement. We did not necessarily have issues, we just wanted to prevent any moisture problems in the future. We consulted with a few other people before speaking with Paul, the owner. Paul came up with an effective and cost-effective solution for us. We are very happy with the service and highly recommend Paul to everyone.”

“These guys did an amazing job for us. 20 years of trying to get my basement dry and these guys finally got it to work. We actually had another company do it 15 years ago but we always got water back. Paul and his brothers worked hard and they cleaned us up as well. Thanks for letting me tell this story guys.”

“I hired Pennacchi and Sons to do repair work on my chimney. In the 3 days they were here, they did an excellent job from start to finish. They also left my home in the same condition as it was before they came. I could not recommend this company more and would definitely hire them again if I needed future masonry work done.”
