Towson, MD's Devoted Basement & Crawl Space Repair

When a Towson homeowner reached out to us, they were dealing with a mysterious drainage issue in their finished basement. They initially called a plumber to inspect their sump pump, hoping for a quick fix, but what they learned was surprising: their drainage problem was due to iron ochre—a reddish, clay-like substance that can clog drainage systems over time. The plumber explained that the iron ochre buildup was outside his expertise and recommended that they contact Basement Systems USA for a solution.

After a thorough inspection, we found that the basement’s sump pump system needed an upgrade to handle the iron ochre effectively. Iron ochre is notorious for clogging and restricting water flow, and a standard sump pump simply wasn’t enough to manage it. That’s when we recommended installing the SuperSump Pump system. This high-capacity pump is specially designed to handle more challenging drainage situations, like those caused by iron ochre, ensuring that the basement would stay dry and functional.

The homeowners were relieved to learn that with the SuperSump Pump, they could get peace of mind and prevent future clogs. Once the installation was complete, they were thrilled.

After reaching out to us, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled an appointment. Upon arrival, our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection of the basement. It was clear that the water seeping through the window wells was the culprit behind the moisture problems. Our recommended solution? The installation of a WaterGuard drainage system—a surefire way to channel water away from the basement efficiently. Our production team, consisting of a skilled foreman and dedicated installers, set to work. Carefully, they installed the WaterGuard system around the interior perimeter of the basement, carefully working around the window wells that had been causing so much distress.

These solutions were designed to efficiently channel water away from the basement, without the need for extensive foundational work. Our skilled foreman and installers got to work, implementing the solutions with precision and care.

The diagnosis: our tried-and-tested CleanSpace and SilverGlo systems. So, with the homeowner’s nod, our team got down to work. CleanSpace, a highly durable encapsulation material, was meticulously laid down, converting the once dusty and moisture-prone crawl space into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient area.

After thoroughly inspecting the basement and identifying the crux of the water intrusion, we proposed a proven, dependable solution that consists of two of our leading products, WaterGuard and the SuperSump pump system. WaterGuard is our flagship basement waterproofing solution, ingeniously designed to rest alongside the basement's foundation. This system acts to intercept water at the perimeter, channeling it away efficiently and silently to the next stalwart of our solution, the SuperSump sump pump. Renowned for its reliability, the SuperSump ensures that collected water is pumped out and away from the home, far alleviating the worry about basement flooding or any subsequent water damage.

When a homeowner in Towson, MD, noticed water pouring through the bottom of their back cellar door every time it rained, they were understandably worried about the potential for damage to their home. That's when they reached out to us at Basement Systems USA for help. They were looking for a reliable solution, and that’s precisely what we were determined to provide. We recommended installing our WaterGuard system, a proven solution for basement waterproofing issues just like this one. WaterGuard is designed to capture water coming in through the walls or the door and direct it to a sump pump system, ensuring the basement stays dry, without any water damage. Our team of diligent installers got to work, carefully integrating the WaterGuard system into the homeowner's cellar. The installation process was smooth and efficient, with our team taking care to ensure minimal disruption to the homeowner's daily life.

This basement use to be finished, but constant water seepage destroyed it and made it unusable and dangerous due to mold. These kinds of conditions are potentially hazardous to your health, and the loss of equity is often two or three times more than the cost of repair. 

The first thing we did was gut the whole basement out by removing all organic material. This included all drywall, flooring, doors, and wooden shelving. The we installed the WaterGuard basement waterproofing system around the perimeter.  This system removes water out of the walls and from under the floor and redirects it into a sump pump. Then we installed a vapor barrier against the walls so that the home owner could re-install walls without worrying about moisture from the foundation walls.

The result is that the basement is bone dry, ready to be re-finished. The home’s value has been restored and the basement is safe again. 

This basement had old dark paneling from the 70's.  There was also a foundation water seepage problem and damp smell.  

First we dried the space.  We installed 102 feet of Waterguard to keep the basement dry.  We also installed a SuperSump with UltraSump battery back up.   Then we finished the basement with TBF Everlast wall.  After installing a drop ceiling, we installed Thermal Tile subflooring that is designed to insulate the floor and protect the carpet.  The floor surface Temperature will now be up to 7 degrees warmer.  It also prevent carpet dry rot which comes from vapor transmission through the concrete floor. This job is ready for carpet. 

A customer had a big problem with water and mold in their basement. Luckily, we knew just what to do when they called us. After removing the carpet, we began our effective Spot Mold Treatment, ridding the space of mold for good. We then installed many of our reliable products to ensure the basement stays dry and mold free including our SuperSump sump pump which stops water from reentering the space as well as other outside elements such as debris. Other products we installed including the ThermalDry wall system and TrenchDrain system will guarantee that any water leaking into the home will be transferred into the drainage system while improving humidity and guaranteeing no risk of damage.
