Perma-Seal marks 40 years in business

BURR RIDGE - Perma-Seal Basement Systems is marking its 40 year milestone in the basement waterproofing and foundation repair industry.

Perma-Seal has been a household name in the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana region since 1979. "Known Best for Being Better," the company provides a wide variety of solutions from basement waterproofing and foundation repair, to concrete lifting and leveling and air quality solutions.

President and Founder Roy Spencer started Perma-Seal after being unhappy with the "patch 'em now, service 'em later" business approach that was prevalent in the industry. Since then, the company has served more than 400,000 homeowners in metropolitan Chicago and northwest Indiana.

"I feel that our 40th anniversary is a validation of our American free enterprise system. A young person can start with an idea, work very hard, do the right thing by his clients and employees, and his or her business will flourish," Spencer said.
