This Baltimore County resident had Basement Systems out to another property of his for basement waterproofing. Leaving that property behind and purchasing another in the same county, it unfortunately had the same issue, when it would rain, water would enter in through the block foundation walls. Liking the waterproofing system that was installed at his other property, he reached back out to us for help. 

We fully waterproofed this basement with the help of our CleanSpace vapor barrier, Waterguard, SuperSump Pump and IceGuard. Our CleanSpace is placed from floor to ceiling on the foundation walls and it is tied directly into the Waterguard perimeter drain. Any water that may think it is getting into this basement to cause issues, will be met by this barrier and it will be directed straight down to the Waterguard. Once water enters the Waterguard it will then travel over to the SuperSump Pump. SuperSump then takes that water and pumps it outside via the discharge line. As added protection for the basement, we installed our IceGuard on the exterior of the foundation, where the discharge line is. Thanks to the design of our Iceguard, it will stop any water from backing into the basement if and when the discharge line freezes in those cold winter months.

Basement Moisture Issues in Baltimore, MD

Recently, a homeowner in Baltimore, MD reached out to us at Basement Systems USA with a proactive mindset. Their goal was twofold: protect their basement from water damage and eventually transform it into a livable area. After careful inspection, our specialist recommended the installation of our WaterGuard drainage system, our reliable SuperSump pump, and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to ensure the basement would not only stay dry but also become a healthy and comfortable living space. Our production team, consisting of experienced foreman and installers, got to work, efficiently installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement to intercept water, the SuperSump pump system to evacuate the intercepted water, and the SaniDry Sedona to control the humidity level in the basement.

In Baltimore, a homeowner with an investment property was dealing with a common but frustrating issue. Every time it rained, water made its way through the walls of their unfinished basement. Understanding the unique needs of this house, we first had our Customer Care team schedule an inspection to find the best solution for this home. During the visit, our System Design Specialist took a look at the basement, identifying the main sources of water entry and the best ways to address them. The tailored solution? Installation of our proven WaterGuard system along with the robust SuperSump pump. The WaterGuard system, designed to intercept water at the basement perimeter, was strategically installed to capture water and direct it away from the foundation. Additionally, the SuperSump pump system was fitted to effectively pump out any water collected, creating a much drier basement environment.

Basement Waterproofing Solutions in Baltimore, MD

Recently, we at Basement Systems USA had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Baltimore, MD, who was dealing with a common yet frustrating issue. Every time it rained, they noticed water seeping in where the basement wall meets the floor—an alarming sign of potential water damage and discomfort in their unfinished basement, something no homeowner should have to deal with. Understanding the gravity of the situation, our first step was to send a System Design Specialist from our Sales Team to thoroughly inspect the basement. This home visit was crucial as it allowed us to diagnose the root of the problem and craft a personalized solution that would ensure the homeowners peace of mind during rainstorms. After completing a detailed inspection, we recommended installing our SuperSump and WaterGuard systems—a proven combo for preventing basement water issues.

Recognizing their concerns, our team quickly sprang into action. Upon arrival, one of our knowledgeable System Design Specialists conducted a complete evaluation of the basement's condition.

Waterproofing in Baltimore, MD

Last month, a homeowner from Baltimore, MD, reached out to us due to a persistent problem in their beautiful, finished basement. Every time a heavy rain hit, they encountered water seeping through a wall adjoining their neighbor's house. Despite having waterproofing measures in place before finishing their basement, they couldn't escape the unwelcome trickles of water, particularly in their utility area, which distressingly spread into their meticulously finished space. Understanding the urgency and frustration tied to recurring water intrusion, especially in a space meant for comfort and joy, we wasted no time. Our recommendation? The installation of WaterGuard, a specially designed interior drainage system, is guaranteed to be an effective solution.

Basement Waterproofing in Baltimore, MD
Recently, we encountered a rather typical problem for homes nestled in Baltimore, MD—especially homes that crest the century mark like the charming one we were called to help. With age came the subtle invaders of dampness and time—highlighted by a persistent, moist hole about 2-3 inches in diameter on the basement floor. Twenty years prior, a waterproofing system had been installed, but like all things, it needed revisiting to stand guard against new challenges. The homeowner, understandably distressed by the potential implications of water in a finished basement, reached out to us for a definitive solution. Upon contact, our customer care team promptly arranged an inspection visit. The diagnosis pointed toward the need for an updated solution; step forward the WaterGuard and SaniDry Sedona systems. The WaterGuard system, designed to intercept water at the foundation's perimeter and guide it unobtrusively away, promised relief from the water mystery. The SaniDry Sedona, a powerful dehumidification unit, joined in to ensure the air remained dry, warding off mildew or any musty companions.

 

Basement Waterproofing in Baltimore, MD

When a homeowner in Baltimore, MD faced a daunting problem with their basement flooding after every heavy rainfall, they turned to us at Basement Systems USA for a solution. Imagine having to empty your shop vac three times within 15 minutes after September rainfall, dealing with a constantly humid basement that led to a dehumidifier running 24/7, and having a sump pump installed by the previous homeowner with no seal and improper drainage – it's exhausting and frustrating. Understanding their need for a permanent fix, we sent our System Design Specialist to conduct a thorough inspection. The foundation of our approach is to not just offer a temporary fix but a reliable, long-lasting solution. The inspector discovered the faulty sump pump installation's contribution to the issue, alongside the obvious challenge of the water ingress and humidity. Our recommendation included the installation of our WaterGuard system to effectively channel water out of the basement, a TripleSafe Sump Pump that guarantees function even in the most severe weather, and our SaniDry Sedona unit crafted to ignore Baltimore's most persistent humidity.

Basement Finally Dry in Baltimore, MD

This old home in Baltimore city had a fieldstone foundation which leaked everywhere.  We installed the WaterGuard basement waterproofing systems around the perimeter.  The system was connected to a SuperSump system which will automatically pump the water out of the house.  A WaterWatch alarm will monitor the pump and notify the homeowner if the pump fails.  We also installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier on the walls to reduce moisture transmission through the foundation.  Finally, we also installed the larger TrenchDrain in the stairwell with a new concrete stairwell pad.

Commercial Building in Baltimore City, MD Waterproofed

This commercial building had a basement that was remodeled in the 50's.  It leaked during almost every storm and the water had caused mold problems on the old wall sand flooring. 

Basement Systems USA, Inc. went in and removed the flooring and the old walls to remediate the mold.  Then we installed the WaterGuard waterpoofing system with SuperSump.  The discharge line for the SuperSump was tricky.  We had to break open the sidewalk and extend the pipe to the street so that there would not be any ice on the sidewalk in the winters.  

When the waterproofing was done, we replaced the walls with moisture resistant DryWall and waterproof flooring so that there was no chance old mold or water damage.

Foundation Repair, Waterproofing, and Finishing in Baltimore, MD

This basement had lots of problems. There were structural problems plus water leaking issues and the customer also wanted to re-finish it. The first thing we did was install CarbonArmor on the foundation walls to guarantee that they would no continue to crack and bow.  Then we installed a SuperSump system with WaterGuard  to prevent water seepage.  Once the waterproofing and structural repairs were completed, we removed all the old paneling and installed the TBF EverLast wall system. TBF comes with a 50 year guarantee against water damage and mold growth.  Once the walls were up, we installed MillCreek waterproof flooring and an inorganic and mold resistant drop ceiling.  The job came out great, but more importantly, the right materials were used. This basement will not have mold and odor issues in a the future.

Basement Waterproofing in Baltimore, MD

This basement did not have a drainage system, but it did have an old sump pump and drain outside of the stair well that was not functional. We upgraded the sump pump with our SuperSump system, and installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system along the basement walls. This will guarantee that the water will direct from the drain system and into our sump pump for a safe and dry basement. After, we ripped out the old stairwell pad and drain, and replaced it with the correct size of our TrenchDrain. Another Job well done and another dry basement.
