"I would be remiss if I didn’t take a moment to "Thank You" for a job well done. I look forward to a dry basement! I have to tell you that the crew assigned was fabulous. They worked from the moment they arrived until they left. Thank you for a terrific job."

Concrete Is Porous!

Because of its particular structure and formation, concrete will absorb a considerable amount of moisture.. exactly as this concrete block has absorbed water, as indicated by the darkened section.

This absorption is not just confined to that section immersed in water, but becomes apparent even in that section of the concrete above the water level!

Water rises within the structure of concrete just as it would rise in a wick.

The same absorption of water applies to a concrete wall or floor. The concrete will "drink up" moisture out of the ground.

THE RESULT: a weakened foundation wall or floor with breaks... cracks... seepage!

"The crew, as expected, performed brilliantly! They were wonderful! They worked hard, were polite, neat, cleaned up after the job, and were totally professional. I would recommend your company to anyone who has ever had water in their basement."
- Chris, Pennsylvania

"The crew was very efficient and respectful. They worked fast and were very professional. They were very nice and patient. They took the time to explain how the pump worked. We are very pleased and satisfied with their work. I would recommend Vulcan to anyone who have basement water problems."
- Lillian, Connecticut
