Columbia's Basement Waterproofing Contractor

Basement Systems USA is the local, family owned contractor in Columbia 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 Columbia

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 Columbia waterproofing systems come with lifetime warranties. 

Basement Finishing & Remodeling in Columbia, 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 Columbia 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 basement not only needed a Cleanspace Vapor Barrier, Waterguard and SuperSump Pump to correct the water seepage, but also needed Flexispan to correct some cracks along the walls and our Geo Lock Anchor System to correct the bowing in wall. 

Job Stories From Columbia, MD
Basement Leaky Wall Crack Repair in Columbia, MD

This homeowner found themselves facing a recurring challenge every time rain came. A vertical hairline crack in their foundation was a conduit for water seepage. Realizing the potential for escalating problems, they reached out to us in search of a solution that is durable and reliable. Our process kicked off with our Customer Care team setting the stage for a thorough inspection performed by a System Design Specialist. Armed with expertise and an eye for detail, our specialist went to the homeowner’s premises. After diagnosing the problem the solution known as FlexiSpan was recommended. The FlexiSpan installation process isn’t just about applying a product; it’s about adopting a guardian for the home. Our team meticulously adhered to sequence – doing more than just mending a crack; they used this flexible, durable sealant against future water intrusions, ensuring peace of mind come rain or shine. 

Basement Waterproofing in Columbia, MD

When we got the call from a homeowner in Columbia, MD, looking to transform their damp, and unused basement into a dynamic living space featuring a gym, office, and home entertainment area, we knew it was time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. They had dealt with water issues in the past, leading to visits from other companies, but the problem persisted, meaning anything they placed in this space risked damage from moisture and leaks. Our process kicked off with an in-depth visit by one of our System Design Specialists. After conducting a thorough inspection and identifying the key moisture entry points, it was clear that our WaterGuard interior drain system, CleanSpace wall system, and TripleSafe sump pump system would be the perfect trio to tackle this persistent problem once and for all. WaterGuard would discreetly whisk away water without clogging, CleanSpace would encapsulate the walls to keep moisture out, and the TripleSafe sump pump — a powerhouse in reliability — was sure to evacuate any water efficiently, no matter the weather outside. 

Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in Columbia, MD

Recently, in Columbia, MD, a homeowner contacted us at Basement Systems USA with a pressing problem. Following a major storm, they discovered a horizontal crack that ran across the entire rear cinder block wall of their basement, leading to flooding. They initially had the wall braced by another company, but unfortunately, the next heavy storm resulted in even more water seeping into their basement. It was evident that a more robust solution was needed to protect their home and peace of mind. Upon the homeowner's call, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a home inspection. Our experienced System Design Specialist then thoroughly assessed the situation and determined that the best turnaround would involve the installation of PowerBrace and Carbon Armor systems. These products are specifically designed for reliability and are known to provide strong, long-lasting solutions for wall reinforcement and waterproofing.

Quote for basement area way and egress window
Project Location: Columbia, MD
In 2019 I purchased my home and began to notice signs of mold on my furniture, the bathroom toilet cover, and on clothing. Mold was first mainly in the basement and became evident in the kitchen and main bedroom over time. Currently, mold is current on the ceiling, toilet, and shower in the basement bathroom, under the kitchen sink, and on clothing. My home has a musty smell throughout but primarily in the basement.

Horizontal crack in basement foundation wall
Project Location: Columbia, MD
Just bought a house in the area--inspection results were sump not working (but no water in basement). When we moved in, I determined the problem was with the controller and I could get the pump working by plugging it in directly, however the pump is in horribly corroded condition. I don't see a check valve, but maybe I'm wrong there... I have a brand new (never installed) pump I brought from our old home (we had as a standbye). So, I want the checkvalve situation checked, I'd like a controller unit installed (we'll buy from you) as well as the pump that I already have. Second task that I'd like looked at: we got water coming in the garage & pooling in one corner. I will install a threshhold, but would like you to look at it and if appropriate, make a proposal. thanks

Radon mitigation after above limit test

Cinder block support columns in the crawl space cracked. House built in 1974, opinion is the columns were too short, they laid individual pieces of cinder block placed atop the columns to meet the steel beams. Believe the homes floor is uneven in places. Feel the pieces of cinder block are breaking and will eventually fail.

There is a crack in the foundation of my house and I am concerned also that there may be some water damage in the crawl space. The previous owner (before 2006) installed a French drain/sump pump combination, so hopefully it's not that bad.

Basement is leaking whenever it rains or there is a lot of snow melt. Cracks in the foundation, so it's probably coming in from below.
Project Location: Columbia, MD
I have a finished basement but discovered that the carpet within a few feet of two walls was wet. I have a sump pump which has been working properly. I am uncertain of the source of the water as there are no damp walls.
