Anne Arundel County, MD Local Waterproofing, Foundation & Basement Remodeling

A homeowner in Arnold, MD contacted us after finding puddles of water in the basement after heavy rainfall. They knew if this went without a solution, it could cause rotting wood, increased energy bills, and mold growth. We sent our System Design Specialist Jim to provide an inspection, and he suggested installing a waterproofing system to keep it dry and healthy. 

Our foreman Jeremy installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and WaterGuard French Drain System. TripleSafe will provide three levels of protection against water intrusion and also has a backup battery that will kick in if the power goes out. WaterGuard will catch any water that seeps in through the walls and floors and drain it to the sump pump. 

Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other water issues in their home, restoring their peace of mind!
