Lackawanna County
Foundation repair in Dunmore, PA — crack repair, bowing walls, settlement, and waterproofing for the borough's older homes. Free inspection. (570) 576-8464.
Dunmore's housing runs older and denser than a lot of the valley — brick doubles, frame singles, and row homes packed onto hillside streets that climb away from the Scranton line. Many of those homes sit on block or rubble-stone foundations that have carried the weight through decades of freeze and thaw, and it shows up as cracks, damp basements, and the occasional settled corner.
The terrain matters here too. Water runs downhill fast on Dunmore's slopes, and it tends to collect against whatever foundation is in its path, which is why we see so many wet-basement and drainage calls in the borough. And like much of this part of Lackawanna County, Dunmore sits over ground that was heavily mined in the anthracite years, so a careful inspection separates ordinary settlement from mine-related movement.
We cover all of Dunmore, from the streets near the Scranton border up toward the cemeteries and out along the Casey Highway corridor. Wherever you are, the inspection is free and the read is honest.

See detailsYes — plenty of the older housing stock sits on rubble stone or early block. Those walls behave differently than modern poured concrete, so we match the repair to how your wall was actually built rather than defaulting to one method.
On the borough's hillside lots, surface water and groundwater tend to run downhill and press against the uphill foundation wall. It's a common pattern here, and it's usually solved with a mix of interior drainage, a sump, and correcting where water lands outside.
