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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

When a homeowner in Elkton, MD reached out to us at Basement Systems with concerns about their outdated and rotting basement entrance, we knew we had the solution they needed. Their home featured an original steel Bilco door which not only succumbed to the test of time by rotting but had also been replaced by a wooden one that didn’t quite fit the unique structure of their home.

Understanding the homeowner's struggle, our Customer Care team promptly arranged an inspection. A System Design Specialist from our Sales Team visited the home, provided a thorough inspection of the basement entrance, and identified the optimal solution moving forward. The condition and constraints called for a non-standard approach, focusing not just on replacing the door but ensuring it wouldn’t impede the chimney or compromise the home's aesthetic and functional integrity. We recommended and installed the SuperSump sump pump system too, which is well incorporated within the unique configuration of the home.
