Basement Systems USA Before & After Photos

A homeowner in North East, Maryland, experienced persistent moisture in their finished basement bedroom, especially during heavy rainstorms. Despite addressing what they believed was the cause—repairing the roof—the problem continued, leaving them unsure of the true source of the water. After an inspection, it was determined that the water was actually entering through the foundation. We installed a WaterGuard system, TripleSafe sump pump, IceGuard, and CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier to eliminate water intrusion and prevent future moisture issues. The results were remarkable, with the basement bedroom now dry and restored, leaving the homeowner more than content with the outcome.

Customer called in needing to replace current Egress, not only was the current Egress allowing water to leak into the basement, but in general it just needed to be updated.

When we first visited this home in Earlville, Maryland, the basement stairway told a story of rain and water intrusion. The walls of the stairwell showed signs of moisture, and water frequently pooled on the stairs during storms. The homeowners were seeking a solution that would give them confidence that their basement would remain dry.

After assessing the situation, we proposed a system tailored to their needs. We installed a SuperSump Pump Plus, a WaterGuard system along the basement perimeter, and a trench drain at the stairway entry. The transformation was immediate—what was once a damp and vulnerable entryway now had a robust system to intercept and divert water away from the home.

The homeowners were impressed by the improvement. They expressed that their basement now felt like a part of their home again, and they were at ease, knowing they could rely on the system to protect their space.

This walkout basement had water leaks on several walls. We installed a WaterGuard drainage system and connected it to the SuperSump System. This SuperSump includes an UltraSump battery back-up which runs on a high-capacity 120 amp power pack. If you lose power, the UltraSump turns on automatically and an alarm sounds to alert you that you are on backup. With a new, fully charged power pack, the UltraSump is capable of pumping out 12,000 total gallons at 2,018 gallons per hour. 

This home had builder-grade fiberglass insulation on the basement walls.  Fiberglass is organic and therefore not a good product to place against damp walls.  The moisture content in the insulation will cause mold and drastically lower the R values, making it almost useless.  We removed the bad insulation and installed FoaMax insulation boards.  FoamMax will properly insulate this basement and also act as a vapor barrier.  In addition to being a much better way to insulate foundation walls, they also look great and brighten up the whole basement.
