Elkton's Basement Waterproofing Contractor

Basement Systems USA is the local, family owned contractor in Elkton for waterproofing, finishing, and crawl space repair. With over 75 years combined experience and a full-time, professional staff we are ready to serve you and improve your home. 

Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair in Elkton

Flooding, water seepage or even high humidity can quickly result in mold growth and water damage in your basement or crawl space. We prevent this from happening by installing an interior drainage system in the basement that is connected to a high volume sump pump. Any water that makes it to the basement is collected and pumped out of the home without you even noticing. 

Just like the basement, in the crawl space we similarly place a sump pump system and dehumidifier to prevent water issues. The entire area is encapsulated with vapor barrier to prevent mold growth. Our crawl space system comes with a 25-year warranty. 

We Provide:
  • Basement Waterproofing
  • Crawl Space Encapsulation
  • Exclusive, Patented Products
  • Humidity Control
  • Structural Repair
  • Basement Egress Windows
You Receive:
  • Permanently Dry Basement
  • Clean Protected Crawlspace
  • Protection against Mold
  • Improved Home Value

If the walls of the basement or bowing inwards we install wall anchors or braces to straighten the walls. If the floor above the crawl space is sagging we install SmartJack support jacks to raise the floor back to a level position. Our Elkton waterproofing systems come with lifetime warranties. 

Basement Finishing & Remodeling in Elkton, MD

Waterproofing your basement prevents outside water from coming in but what if a pipe bursts or the water heater leaks inside the home. A newly finished basement done by your average contractor will mold and rot if there is an internal leak. You'll have to tear out your new basement! We fix this issue.

Our Products Include :
  • Waterproof, washable, insulated walls           
  • Mold-Resistant, No-Sag suspended ceiling
  • Modular carpet, tile & faux wood flooring
  • Basement egress windows

  • Energy-efficient, double-paned basement windows
  • Attractive Sunhouse basement window wells
  • French, bifold, louvre & six-paneled steel doors

Unlike the average Elkton contractor we use completely inorganic, waterproof materials. Even if the basement floods your walls and floors will not be damaged by the water. These waterproof products are patented and are built to create an attractive finished basement that lasts a lifetime.

This basement was still wet from the last rain. It needed the patented basement waterproofing systems called WaterGuard.  WaterGuard is a system that is designed to go on top of the footer so that it will not get clogged by the mud that is next to the footer.  

We also installed the ThermalWall vapor barrier so that moisture from the foundation wall would not evaporate into the basement.  We seal the top and tape the joints so that no air can escape.  The bottom of the vapor barrier is installed into the WaterGuard system so that moisture can drain away.  Now the basement has a guarantee against water seepage from the foundation walls but also will have less moisture in the air.  It is now ready to use.

Basement Waterproofing in Elkton, MD

Recently, we had the privilege of helping a homeowner in Elkton, MD, who had been facing some troublesome water leakage in their basement. They had only been in their home for a year when they noticed that their sump pump was constantly running to keep up with the water, especially problematic since their basement was mostly finished, which could lead to extensive damage without the right solution in place. The areas where the walls were exposed revealed water seeping in, a sight no homeowner ever wants to see. Understanding the urgency of the situation, the homeowner reached out to us, Basement Systems USA. Our System Design Specialist personally visited their home, conducted a thorough inspection, and really took the time to diagnose the water intrusion issue. After considering all factors, the specialist recommended installing our WaterGuard system, designed specifically for basement waterproofing by discreetly directing the water out and away from the basement. Without delay, our skilled production team was on-site, consisting of a foreman and highly trained installers, who professionally handled the installation job.

Drainage System Replacement in Elkton, MD

When a homeowner in Elkton, MD, started noticing signs of water intrusion in their basement—mud trails and water stains creeping along the floor near the back wall—it was clear that something more formidable than a simple cleanup job was required. With concerns piling up, they reached out to us at Basement Systems USA for a reliable fix to their soggy predicament. Our team kicked off the process with a thorough inspection directed by one of our experienced System Design Specialists. The mission was clear: pinpoint the underlying issues and roll out an effective, durable solution. What we found was an overwhelmed drainage system cowering under the invasion of mud, essentially turning it obsolete. The diagnostic phase revealed the pathway forward with an urgent need for an overhaul. We introduced the homeowner to two of our cutting-edge products: the WaterGuard and SuperSump systems. WaterGuard, a genius of a perimeter drainage system, was installed strategically alongside the internal confines of the basement floor, a move meant to intercept water at its entry point and redirect it away with stealth and efficiency. Complementing this, the SuperSump sump pump setup, a powerhouse in water evacuation, was installed to ensure that any water captured by the WaterGuard system was efficiently pumped out and away from the home, prohibiting any backwash.

Recently, we were called to a beautiful home in Elkton, MD, where the homeowner was facing an all-too-common challenge. Despite having a finished basement that served as a cozy living space, they encountered a problem: water was leaking in through the Bilco door area during heavy rain. Unsure if the issue was with the drain or something else, they reached out to us for help. Upon arrival, our System Design Specialist carried out a thorough inspection to understand the root of the problem. It became clear that the drainage system was overwhelmed, allowing water to seep in at the main door. We knew right away that our WaterGuard interior drainage system and SuperSump sump pump were the perfect solutions to address and prevent future leaks. After the homeowner agreed to our proposed solution, our talented production team swiftly got to work. They installed the WaterGuard along the basement's perimeter to efficiently capture wall and floor seam water leaking, directing it away from the living space. Then, they set up the SuperSump sump pump system, designed to efficiently pump away any collected water, significantly reducing the chances of it entering the basement area.

Not long ago, a homeowner in Elkton, MD reached out to us at Basement Systems USA with a relatable yet troubling issue. Every time it rained, they faced the dreaded issue of water seeping into their beautifully finished basement. The situation had become so recurrent that the last rainfall forced them to pull up their carpet to prevent the onset of mold. Our recommended remedy for their woes was the installation of our WaterGuard system coupled with the highly efficient SuperSump pump. WaterGuard is an exceptional interior drainage system designed to sit at the perimeter of the basement floor, catching any water trying to seep in, while the SuperSump entirely sites the collected water out and away from the home.

Water in the basement wasn’t just a nuisance; it was a threat to their home's structure and their well-being. We found exactly where and how water was making its unwelcome entry. Armed with this understanding, we recommended a reliable solution: WaterGuard. Our installation day was all about efficiency and care. Our foreman and capable installers arrived with everything needed to tackle the job. WaterGuard, our go-to for cases like these, was skillfully installed around the perimeter of the basement.

This customer had an old french drain system in his basement. However, water would seep up through the floor when it rains. The carpet in the basement had to be removed due to excessive water intrusion, ruining the carpet. To solve these issues, our team installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the basement. This system was tied into the existing sump pump system in the basement.

Water Seeping From the Exterior Basement Steps

 The customer had a problem with water coming into his basement from the steps.  Water was actually coming up from the floor at the base of the bottom step.  They also had water coming from the base of the foundation walls and the walls were very damp.  

We installed a TrenchDrain in front of the step to capture water coming down the steps but also to relieve hydrostatic pressure from below.  Then we installed the WaterGuard system, which we connected to our SuperSump system.  To finish the job properly, we installed a vapor barrier over the walls to prevent moisture from entering the basement.
