Bel Air's Basement Waterproofing Contractor

Basement Systems USA is the local, family owned contractor in Bel Air 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 Bel Air

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 Bel Air waterproofing systems come with lifetime warranties. 

Basement Finishing & Remodeling in Bel Air, 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 Bel Air 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 customer wanted to have a code-approved Egress Window Well installed in their home so the basement could be finished and used as extra living space. 

We installed an Egress Rockwell System because it is by far the best egress window well system available on the market. We also installed a WellDuct window well drain to guarantee that the water in the window well will never flood into the basement.

Beautiful, Bright Egress for Finished Basement

This job in Bel Air, MD needed an egress window for their finished basement.  The job required removal of bushes and drywall, but everything went smoothly.  The beautiful RockWell window well looks amazing and much better than the standard metal contractor grade wells that always rust and leak.  We also installed a drain in the bottom of the window well to prevent flooding. The basement is now bright, but more importantly, safe!

Finished Basement with Crawlspaces in Bel Air, Maryland

Before we finished this basement we had to deal with some problems first.  This basement had several crawlspaces that that had moisture and no insulation.  We installed CleanSpace barrier on the floor of the crawlspace to prevent vapor transmission.  We also insulated the walls and rim-joist of the crawlspaces but not with fiberglass insulation because that attracts mold and becomes ineffective over time as it absorbs moisture.  Instead we used Silverglow foam board.  We also installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier to keep the humidity at an acceptable low level.  

Then we used our TBF Everlast wall panel system to finish the basement and it came out great.  Not only does it look good, it comes with a 50-year guarantee against water damage and mold growth.  We also fixed the stairs and installed Thermal flooring that makes the basement floor look good and creates a warmer floor surface. The basement looked great and is now ready to use.

Basement Finishing in Bel Air, MD

When a homeowner needed a higher quality basement, we were there to help. After eliminating the mold in the basement, we installed our reliable Everlast basement windows and Rockwell window well to keep moisture and soil out. We installed our Wellduct and ThermalDry wall systems to prevent water damage by catching and sending any water to the drainage system. The SaniDry dehumidifier will also control the humidity and air quality in the basement so that there is no risk of moisture, mold or odors. The homeowner is now happy with a basement that can be used.

Waterproofing and Mold Remediation in Bel Air, MD

A customer had a nasty problem with their wet and moldy basement. We fixed the problem with our successful Spot Mold Treatment, removing all mold from the space. We then went further by installing the state of the art WaterGuard XL waterproofing system which captures water that leaks through the walls and floors of their home. Now, the customer has a dry, clean space with no worries of damp or moldy odors.

I need to install a larger window and an egress window well from the basement to add a bedroom for my grand daughters. The current window is tiny. We have a poured foundation and have a window egress in another basement bedroom that we are also considering expanding to a door walkup egress.

I live in a small rancher in Bel Air and it has a partial basement. Two of the rooms (dining room and bathroom) meet and they both slope downward and I'd like to have it looked at. Is this something you could look at and assess for me?

Looking to have 2 small windows replaced with full-size windows. The basement is walkout and finished, cement block. Looking over your photos, "3 Egress Windows Installed In Joppa MD" is the best comparison. Since there is a door, no need for an egress window, depending on the size of the window a well may be needed but the ground slopes away so leveling is also an option.

I have a constant radon tester and sometimes the level go up higher than normal. I want to make sure the home is sealed properly and that radon is not getting into the home.

Want to finish basement. The only "luxury" features we are looking for are an optional bath with shower (no tub) and possibly a wet bar. Do NOT want an installed home theater or any other "luxury" features other than what I stated up front. The wet bar feature is a deal-breaker if it breaks the budget to have it, meaning I am comfortable with dropping it.
