Basement Systems USA is the local, family owned contractor in Wilmington 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 Wilmington 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.

In Wilmington, DE, a homeowner faced a significant issue with their partially finished basement, which was suffering from excessive moisture and the...
A homeowner in Wilmington, Delaware, reached out to us at Basement Systems USA, frustrated by water constantly seeping into one corner of her basement. Every time it rained heavily, she said, the water would pool near the wall and almost flood the area. Our team inspected the situation thoroughly, noting the water pathways and areas of weakness. We determined that the best approach would be to install a WaterGuard system, a CleanSpace Wally 36-inch liner, and a CleanSpace encapsulation system for the crawl space.
The WaterGuard system is a key solution here, acting as an underground drainage track that catches water before it can reach the basement floor. By guiding the water toward a sump pump, it keeps the space dry and prevents flooding. We also installed a CleanSpace Wally 36-inch, a durable liner that protects the basement walls from moisture while improving air quality. For additional protection, we extended CleanSpace encapsulation into the crawl space, which acts as a powerful barrier against outside humidity and moisture.
With all these systems in place, the basement is now fully protected, and the homeowner is relieved to have a dry, secure space, rain or shine.
When a homeowner in Wilmington, Delaware reached out to Basement Systems USA, they were dealing with a range of dampness issues in their unfinished basement and crawl space. Heavy rains frequently caused water to pool in the crawl space, leaving the concrete floor damp and allowing mold to start forming on the walls. While they already had a sump pump, they weren’t confident it was effectively handling the water or keeping the space as dry as it should be.
We knew this type of situation required a comprehensive approach to address the water intrusion and protect their home long-term. After a full assessment, our team recommended a CleanSpace encapsulation system with drainage matting for the crawl space to seal it off and prevent future moisture build-up. To tackle the existing mold, we used our specialized Mold-X treatment to safely and thoroughly treat affected surfaces. To manage humidity levels, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, ensuring that the air quality remained healthy and mold wouldn’t make a return. We also applied our CarbonArmor spray foam insulation to seal any cracks and help with energy efficiency. By the end, the crawl space and basement were completely transformed, creating a cleaner, healthier environment for the homeowner.
In Wilmington, DE, a homeowner was puzzled by the unwelcome water intrusion into their unfinished basement, noticing it primarily during rainfall but unable to trace its exact entry points. The existing sump pump pit, shallow and ineffective, didn't ameliorate matters - especially with water seeping in from the area opposite it. Understanding the gravity of ignoring such issues, they reached out to us at Basement Systems for a reliable solution. Our approach kicked off with a detailed home inspection by one of our System Design Specialists, who diagnosed the complexity of the problem. They recommended the installation of our WaterGuard drainage system alongside a SuperSump pump system, tailored specifically to address and resolve the unique challenges faced by the homeowner. WaterGuard was engineered to capture wall and floor joint water leakage effectively, channeling it away inconspicuously and maintaining the basement's dry state. Following closely, the introduction of the SuperSump pump was pivotal in preparing for denser water flows, offering much-needed depth and power to actively eject water away from the foundation and, thus, safeguarding the basement against future water woes. Our production team, targeted and meticulous, seamlessly executed the install, showcasing the depth of both skill and care in ensuring the homeowner's satisfaction is met.
In Wilmington, DE, we got a call from a homeowner looking to reclaim their basement. It was a classic case we often see - a partially finished basement plagued by excessive moisture and the lurking threat of mold behind the drywall. Their main goal was to get this problem under control, eventually refinishing their basement for additional living space. Our process kicked off with a comprehensive home inspection. Our skilled System Design Specialist, Keith visited the property, identifying key issues contributing to the moisture problem and proposed a tailored solution perfectly fitting the homeowner’s needs. Given the situation, we recommended a combination of our premier products: WaterGuard to catch wall seepage and prevent it from reaching the floors, the TripleSafe Sump Pump to efficiently pump out water, our CleanSpace vapor barrier for additional safeguarding against humidity, and the SaniDry Sedona to tackle any airborne moisture quickly and efficiently. Once our plan was set, our dedicated production team took over. The installation integrated these systems carefully to avoid disturbing the home more than necessary. The results spoke for themselves. The once moisture-ridden basement transformed into a dry, comfortable area ready for its makeover into what the homeowner aims for. Less humidity meant no worrying about mold or mildew giving this family peace of mind about the health of their home's foundation.
A homeowner in Wilmington, Delaware, contacted Basement Systems USA with concerns about water and dampness, along with mold growth, in an interior closet. Despite their efforts to find a leak from the ceiling or any plumbing issues, they were unable to pinpoint the source. Our team conducted a thorough inspection and discovered the origin of the water. We recommended a combination of waterproofing solutions, including WaterGuard, which would keep the basement dry by capturing water that seeps in through walls and directing it to a sump pump, and the FlexiSpan system, which would seal any wall cracks to stop leaks, adapting to foundation movement while preventing further water intrusion. Together, these solutions help maintain a dry basement, protecting the home's foundation from water damage.
After completing the installation, the homeowner was very satisfied with how effectively the problem was resolved.

Responding swiftly, our Customer Care team lined up an inspection by one of our astute System Design Specialists. On review, the verdict was clear as day yet resolved with precision engineering - the installation of our WaterGuard drainage system and the SuperSump sump pump system would turn the tides in favor of our homeowner.

Recently, we had the opportunity to help a homeowner in Wilmington, DE, who was facing a persistent and troubling issue with water in their partially finished basement.

This not only damaged property but also led to mold growth - a worry for anyone's health and home. We found the water was not just making an unwelcome entrance but also had no way to exit, trapping moisture and causing damage. Our solution included installing our WaterGuard system, an innovative interior basement drainage system designed to effectively capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor.

Knowing the risks of water damage, they reached out to Basement Systems USA for help, and our team was ready for the challenge. Our Specialist recommended a robust, long-term solution to make sure their basement stayed dry – installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump system along with WaterGuard interior drainage and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the space dry and healthy. Our production team, known for their skill and efficiency, got to work. The installation of the TripleSafe Sump Pump ensured a reliable, three-level pumping system that would keep the basement dry in any situation, even during power outages.

The SaniDry Sedona was the final touch, eliminating dampness and improving the air quality down there.
When a homeowner in Wilmington, DE, contacted us about a persistent musty smell and cool floors, especially noticeable after the rain, we knew we faced a familiar challenge. Like many homes in the region, their new property was suffering from an inadequately protected crawlspace, a common issue that can impact comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency in homes. Following an inspection by one of our experienced System Design Specialists, the root of the problem was clear: moisture infiltration had created an ideal setting for mold growth, contributing to air quality issues inside the home. To tackle this, we recommended our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system alongside SilverGlo insulation panels. CleanSpace is designed to create a thick, durable barrier against moisture and air, effectively sealing off the space from earth damp, while SilverGlo helps to insulate the crawlspace, reflecting heat back into the space and ensuring that floors above remain warm and energy bills get a break. Our production team jumped into action, first cleaning and preparing the crawlspace, subsequently laying down the CleanSpace liner, and installing SilverGlo panels with precision. The process not only requires thorough technical expertise but also a sensitivity to the homeowner's daily life, ensuring that our work was carried out carefully and cleaned up promptly, reducing hassle and stress. The outcome was a transformed crawlspace - dry, insulated, and free of musty smells.
This partially finished basement often had water come in due to heavy rains. Water seepage mostly occurred in the unfinished portion of the basement. Our team installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the footer of the unfinished section of the basement.
There were several problems with this complicated, multi level, home in Wilmington, DE.
First, the deck boards on the front of the home were painted closed and no longer allowed water to drain in between them. As a result, the customer would have several inches of rain build up on the deck, which then leaked into the home and caused the lower level drop ceiling to get damaged. To solve this issue, we had to rip up the old deck boards and replace them with new, pressure treated boards with spaces in between each board so that the water could properly drain. Problem solved.
There was also a problem with sub-flooring in the basement. There was no vapout barrier on the dirt floor below the plywood. This caused a constant moisture problem which resulted in the floor and joist rotting. We ripped out the old floor and the joist and installed a drainage system along with the CleanSpace Vapor barrier so that the space would be dry. No more high mosture levels under the floor. Then we reinstalled the joist and the floor decking.
There was also an adjacent crawlspace with mold all over the joists due to high levels of moisture. The primary reason for the mold was that the existing vapor barrier was only 6-mill poly plastic, which could not keep the moisture from the ground from leaking into the crawlspace and causing high humidity levels. We did a full mold remediation job on the whole CralwSpace. A new SmartSump was installed to make sure we could control water seepage under the vapor barrier. We installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to make sure that the ground was properly sealed off. We also installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifer to make sure that the remaining air in the crawlspace would always stay dry. We spray foamed the ban-board/sil-plate area and some above ground framed walls to keep the cold air out. We also replaced the old, leaky, crawlspace door with the airtight EverLast door to keep the humid and cold air out.
To finish it off, we repaired the water damaged drop ceiling on the first floor. This job tool about 7 days and came out beautifully. Most importantly, all the customer problems of mold, rot, high humidity, water seepage and bad insulation have been resolved.
This little crawlspace was moldy, damp, and cold. The problem was that it was vented to the outside which lets cold and wet air into the crawlspace. It also had fiberglass insulation in the ceiling, which is the worst product to install in damp areas. Fiberglass is organic and will suck the moisture out of the air and then grow mold. The floor was also missing a vapor barrier. This means moisture from the ground can evaporate into the crawlspace. We had the solution; we closed the vent and removed the fiberglass insulation in the ceiling. Then we insulated the perimeter walls with SilverGlow foam board. We also installed Drainage matting and the CleanSpace vapor barrier over the floor. The crawlspace is now t clean, dry, mold and odor free.
This basement was very wet and damp and looked like an un-usable dungeon. It would be a bad idea to use traditional basement finishing matrials like drywall in this basement because you would have mol din no time.
We first made sure that the basement was waterpoofed with our Wateguard waterpoofing system. The we used in-organic materials to finish the basement. TBF everlast walls not only look beautifull, they also com ewith a 50-year guarantee against water or mold damge. The flooring is also waterpoof and even the ceiling tiles are made of an inorganic material and come with a30 year guarantee. The space was small but it turned out great. Can you imagine the difference in home value this job made?
To ensure his crawlspace stays comfortable and dry, a homeowner called us for help. We got right to work, first ridding it of mold and the current insulation. We then insulated the crawlspace with our quality SilverGlo and Terra Block products. We also installed Cleanspace which will direct any unwanted water seepage and send it to the drainage system. These products keep the crawlspace dry while also improving energy use and comfort. The homeowner is pleased with the new insulation in his crawlspace and thinks of it as new.
This customer’s leaking basement was a big problem. We installed our SuperSump sump pump for him which will pump up to 2280 gallons an hour while preventing further water leakage or other outside elements. Our TrenchDrain and WaterGuard systems will capture water seepage and take it to the sump pump so that the basement stays dry even in heavy weather conditions. The ZenWall basement paneling system also provides walls that are a moisture barrier, capture water seepage and improve energy efficiency in the basement. Thanks to our team, our customer will enjoy his basement.
When a homeowner was experiencing crawlspace flooding, we came to the rescue. We were able to install our quality SmartPipe crawlspace drainage system along with some of our other dependable products to prevent crawlspace flooding. The homeowner now uses the SmartSump system that will alert him of any problems it's experiencing as well as the Cleanspace vapor barrier that prevents moisture and outside elements from entering his crawlspace. The homeowner also chose to have us install a new SaniDry dehumidifier as well as our IceGuard discharge system which will ensure his crawlspace stays dry in the winter months. By installing all of these products, we were able to prepare this customer for any situation, protecting his crawlspace from mold, flooding and other outside factors.
