Anne Arundel County, MD Waterproofing Contractor

Basement Systems USA is the local, family-owned contractor in Anne Arundel County for waterproofing, finishing, and crawl space repair. With over 75 years of combined experience and a full-time, professional staff we are ready to serve you and improve your home. 

Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair in Anne Arundel County

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 a dehumidifier to prevent water issues. The entire area is encapsulated with a 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 Anne Arundel County waterproofing systems come with lifetime warranties. 

Basement Finishing & Remodeling in Anne Arundel County, 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 Anne Arundel County 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 attractively finished basement that lasts a lifetime.

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Annapolis, MD

At Basement Systems, we recently tackled a damp crawl space issue for a homeowner in Annapolis, MD, transforming it from a musty, water-intruded space into a dry, usable part of their home. When the homeowner contacted us, they were troubled by a persistent musty smell emanating from their dirt-floor crawl space. They noticed that every time it rained, water seemed to seep in from one side, escalating their concern about potential damage to their home’s foundation, not to mention the unhealthy air sweeping up into their living spaces. Aware of our reputation for providing reliable and lasting solutions, they reached out to us for help.

Basement Waterproofing in Pasadena, MD

When a homeowner from Pasadena, MD, reached out to us, they were facing a troubling problem with their partially finished basement.

The first step involved a meticulous home inspection by a member of our attentive System Design Specialist team.

Basement Insulation and Moisture Management in Glen Burnie, MD

When a Glen Burnie, MD, homeowner reached out to us at Basement Systems, they were facing a chilly and damp problem. Despite owning an unfinished basement equipped with three sump pumps and a dehumidifier, they couldn't shake off the feeling of humidity downstairs, nor the cold seeping through the floor joists above. Their sump pumps were overwhelmed, and the dehumidifier just couldn't keep up. Our approach kicked off with a conversation with the homeowner, helping us understand their concerns in-depth. This led to an appointment where one of our System Design Specialists paid their basement a thorough visit. The inspection unfolded the critical need for a more robust waterproofing solution and better air control machines to tackle the damp and cold ailments besieging this home's basement. Our recommendation? An installation of our state-of-the-art SuperSump pump system to handle high water intrusion effectively and the SaniDry Sedona - a powerful, yet energy-efficient, dehumidifier designed to maintain dry, healthier air. These products were selected to turn the tide against the water encroaches and inadequate humidity control they battled against. Additionally, to improve insulation and further combat the cold, we installed our ThermalDry wall system around the basement walls.

Crawl Space Foundation Repair in Edgewater, MD

Recently, a homeowner in Edgewater, MD, reached out to us with concerns about moisture in their crawl space and the need for additional supports to ensure the stability of their home.

Upon inspection, it was evident that not only was moisture a severe issue, but the structural integrity of the crawl space was compromised, posing a potential risk to the entire home. The homeowner needed a durable, reliable solution that could provide the needed support to stabilize their home. We recommended installing SmartJack, a high-strength, adjustable steel piering system designed to halt and prevent further sinking and settling of floors. Our team of skilled installers got to work, systematically installing SmartJack systems in critical areas of the crawl space.

Basement Waterproofing for a Severna Park, MD Home

A realtor in Severna Park, MD, contacted Basement Systems USA after noticing visible water stains and efflorescence on the walls of a home he was preparing to sell. Recognizing these signs of moisture issues, he wanted a permanent solution that would give prospective buyers peace of mind.

 

Upon our inspection, we determined that a combination of solutions would be the most effective way to protect the basement from future water damage. We recommended installing a new sump pump to actively remove any water that might accumulate, paired with an IceGuard system. This safeguard would ensure that water could safely escape in freezing temperatures, preventing potential backups. To address the moisture along the walls, we suggested our CleanSpace Wall System, a durable barrier that directs any water seepage down into the sump pump. Additionally, a Lawnscape outlet would guide any discharged water safely away from the foundation, reducing the chance of it re-entering the home.

 

 

With this multi-layered approach, the basement in Severna Park is now fully equipped to handle future water challenges, adding value and reassurance for the realtor and prospective homeowners alike.

Musty Basement Order in Crownsville, Maryland

In Crownsville, Maryland, a concerned homeowner reached out to Basement Systems USA, troubled by a persistent musty odor in his basement. He had previously tried various solutions, but nothing seemed to eliminate the unpleasant smell, particularly after heavy rainfall. Recognizing that musty odors often indicate moisture problems, our team conducted a thorough evaluation of the basement to pinpoint the source of the issue.

 

During our assessment, we identified that the humidity levels in the space were contributing to the mustiness and potential mold growth. To effectively combat these problems, we recommended the installation of the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This powerful unit is designed to efficiently remove water daily while filtering out dust, mold spores, and other airborne particles. Its advanced filtration system helps improve air quality and eliminates odors, making it an ideal solution for damp basements. We also suggested a downspout cleanout to ensure that rainwater was being directed away from the home’s foundation effectively. This step is crucial as blocked or improperly routed downspouts can lead to water pooling around the basement walls, exacerbating moisture issues.

 

The installation process was smooth, and once the SaniDry Sedona was up and running, the homeowner noticed an immediate improvement.

Our Systems Design Specialist visited the home, assessed the condition of the crawlspace, and confirmed that encapsulation was the right solution. We recommended our CleanSpace encapsulation system, a durable and effective solution for turning problematic crawlspaces into dry, usable spaces. Our production team, consisting of a foreman and skilled installers, got to work. They began by carefully preparing the crawlspace, then installed the CleanSpace system. This involved laying down a heavy-duty liner that not only acts as a barrier to moisture and water but also drastically improves the overall air quality throughout the home.
