What We Do
Perma-Seal was founded in 1979 by Roy Spencer. After working for two other large waterproofing companies, he was dissatisfied with the low ethical standards and the “patch now and service ‘em later” repairs that were commonplace in the industry. It was then that he decided to build a company that could provide permanent repairs and stand behind that work with integrity.
Today, over 42 years later, Perma-Seal has become a leader in the waterproofing industry and has helped nearly 400,000 Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana homeowners achieve permanently dry basements and healthy homes.
