Responsible Basement & Crawl Space Business in Abingdon, MD

Recently in Abingdon, MD, we at Basement Systems had the opportunity to assist a homeowner facing the daunting situation many dread - a basement leak. After enduring a severe rainstorm, the homeowner discovered water seeping through a crack in their foundation. This was not just any crack; it had been a hidden menace, supposedly repaired a decade ago with drylock but the issue came back. Upon contacting us, our Customer Care team sprang into action, scheduling a detailed home inspection to uncover the root of the issue. Our System Design Specialist then meticulously examined the unfinished basement, noting the compromised insulation and exposed walls as key concern areas. The diagnosis? A solution grounded in reliability and effectiveness was critical to ensuring this home stood defiant against any future deluges. The solution proposed - and eagerly accepted by the homeowner - was the installation of our WaterGuard system. Celebrated for its ingenuity in waterproofing, WaterGuard was the ideal choice to address and rectify this home’s foundational challenges. Our expertly trained production team executed the installation with precision, sealing the troublesome crack and reinforcing the basement’s defense against water. 

Recently, a homeowner in Abingdon, MD, experienced a common yet frustrating problem many face: their beautifully finished basement started taking in water during heavy rainfalls. Understandably concerned about the damage and the prospect of future issues, they reached out to us at Basement Systems USA, seeking a reliable and long-term solution. Our first step was sending a dedicated System Design Specialist to their home for a complete and thorough inspection. It's crucial for us to diagnose the issue accurately to ensure the recommended solution aligns perfectly with the homeowner’s needs. Following the examination, it became clear that our FlexiSpan system was the ideal solution to address their water intrusion problem. FlexiSpan is our go-to product for such cases, designed to create a durable, waterproof seal that’s made to last, allowing homeowners to reclaim their space without the worry of future leaks or damp. This flexibility is a big part of what sets FlexiSpan apart—it can accommodate natural shifts and movements in the structure without compromising its integrity or waterproofing capability. 

This basement was particularly finished and had a water seepage problem.  The carpet and bottom of the drywall got wet and had to be removed.  

We then cut the floor and installed the WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter walls.  WaterGuard is a patented system that has been installed all over the country and comes with a nationally backed, life time warranty.  The WaterGuard was connected to a TripleSafe Sump Systems that has the capacity to pump up to 6000 gallons per hour on AC power and can pump up to 12,000 gallons of water in one charge. 

After the waterproofing was completed, we also installed the SaniDry super dehumidifier, which is 7 to 10 times more powerful then your average store bought dehumidifier.  

The results is that the basement is protected from water seepage and high humidity.
