In this episode of Real Estate with Brenda K, Brenda sits down with Colleen Cole, founder of PERMA-DRY, to talk about one of the biggest concerns homeowners face... foundation cracks and basement water problems.

From the story behind the invention of PERMA-DRY's innovative crack repair system to foundation cracks, waterproofing, sump pumps, drainage systems, hydrostatic pressure, and lifetime warranties, this conversation explains how water enters a home, why proper repairs matter, and what homeowners should know before choosing a contractor. Brenda and Colleen also discuss common misconceptions about basement leaks, preventative maintenance, and how decades of innovation have changed foundation repair throughout Atlantic Canada.

Whether you're buying a home, maintaining your current property, or simply want to better understand basement waterproofing, this episode is filled with practical advice, expert knowledge, and real-world insight every Halifax homeowner should hear.
