Perma-Seal News and Information

We did a little Spring-cleaning at our Downers Grove warehouse. We found items we no longer use, including window and area wells, glass block windows, and flooring supplies. Instead of throwing it away like yesterday’s trash, we reached out to ReStore Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity to see if they could make use of the materials.

They graciously accepted our donation! Some of Perma-Seal’s Tribal Members weathered the wind that afternoon, and helped load the Habitat for Humanity trucks. This exemplifies our Core Value: “We are compassionate and give back to our Community.”

This Q&A is one in a series of articles about the business executives who help guide your BBB. This is an edited transcript of an interview with Roy Spencer, president of Perma-Seal Basement Systems, Immediate Past Chair of the BBB, and a member of the Executive Committee of the BBB Board of Directors.

Sales are not always about the price. Customers will spend more if they see the value and believe in the company that they are doing business with. A month ago, Dustin Gebers from Frontier Basement Systems in Clarksville, TN shared a story that is worth repeating.

DOWNERS GROVE, IL -- Perma-Seal Basement Systems is known best for being better because they offer the most advanced patented products and repair methods in the waterproofing and foundation repair industry. Consistently evaluating new solutions for their clients has made them the leader in the Chicagoland and Northwestern Indiana areas. That is why Perma-Seal is excited to announce that they now offer a new, innovative solution for unlevel and/or sinking concrete known as PolyLEVEL.

Unleveled and sinking concrete around a home, building or business poses safety hazards and unwanted liability to the owner, customers, employees and/or tenants. Perma-Seal’s patented PolyLEVEL system can lift all types of indoor and outdoor surfaces including basement, warehouse and garage floors, driveways, sidewalks as well as patios, porches and pool decks.

Last June, Perma-Seal began a basement waterproofing project at DuPagePads' Employment and Education building at 705 West Liberty in Wheaton, IL. The project was completed by September 2014. It was a big job which involved sealing off the basement area so that it wouldn't allow seepage inside. The basement of the building is used to store diapers, hygiene products, pads for sleeping, clothing, and more - all items which must be kept dry so that participants in their program can live healthy, safe lives.

DuPagePads' mission is to end homelessness in DuPage County. They provide interim (overnight) housing and permanent supportive housing plans.
