Bear's Basement Waterproofing Contractor

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

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 Bear waterproofing systems come with lifetime warranties. 

Basement Finishing & Remodeling in Bear, DE

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 Bear 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 customer was in need of a sump pump upgrade so we delivered -  in the form of a SuperSump Plus pump system with a cast iron pump, capable of pumping up to 2,300 gallons per hour, a heavy-duty liner with an airtight lid that keeps moisture and critters from coming up into the basement, and a WaterWatch Alarm system which alerts you if the water in your sump gets higher than the point where the pump should turn on, giving you time to address the problem before damage occurs. 

Job Stories From Bear, DE
Enhanced Lawn Drainage in Bear, DE

The homeowners in Bear, Delaware, contacted us at Basement Systems USA with concerns about standing water in their backyard. Heavy rains often left pools of water that wouldn’t drain properly, causing trouble with the yard’s usability and the health of their landscaping. 

 

After a thorough evaluation, we recommended installing a Lawnscape system to address the drainage issue. A Lawnscape system works by directing water away from areas where it tends to accumulate, keeping the backyard dry and protecting the home’s foundation. By directing rainwater to a designated location, it prevents erosion, keeps plants healthy, and minimizes the risk of foundation issues caused by water infiltration.

 

 

The installation process was smooth, and the end result was a much-improved backyard. The homeowners were highly satisfied with the outcome, as their yard was now free of water, and they had peace of mind knowing their foundation was protected. They expressed great appreciation for the care and attention to detail our team demonstrated throughout the process, noting how much better their outdoor space had become.

Persistent Waterflow in Unfinished Basement in Bear, DE

A homeowner in Bear, Delaware, noticed that their sump pump was constantly running due to excessive water entering their unfinished basement, they were initially advised by the water company to call a plumber. However, no plumbing issues could explain the high volume of water accumulating. That’s when they reached out to Basement Systems USA. Our team performed an in-depth inspection of the entire basement area, looking beyond plumbing to assess possible external water sources.

We identified that water was entering from the surrounding soil, overwhelming the current system. To address this, we installed a SuperSump Plus sump pump, known for its reliability and ability to handle heavy water loads. Additionally, we included a new discharge line and a landscape outlet to ensure water was redirected well away from the home, preventing further accumulation in the basement. Now, the homeowner enjoys a much drier basement with a properly functioning system, ready to handle any weather conditions.

Basement Waterproofing in Bear, DE

In Bear, DE, there was a homeowner who was facing a serious issue – every time it rained, water would seemingly invade their basement. One of our seasoned System Design Specialists visited the home, taking the time to thoroughly inspect the situation, diagnose the core issues, and recommend a tailored solution. We concluded that the basement would benefit most from our WaterGuard drainage system, a TripleSafe Sump Pump to reliably eject the collected water, and our CleanSpace wall system to keep moisture out and maintain a clean, dry space. Our production team, consisting of an experienced foreman and capable installers, then got to work on transforming this troubled basement into a dry, comfortable part of the home once again.

For this project, we decided that the WaterGuard drainage system and the TripleSafe Sump Pump were the perfect fit. These selections aren't just about immediate relief; they prioritize long-term solutions, aligning with our mission to offer sustained results and peace of mind to our homeowners. The installation process was meticulous.

Water would often seep through this homeowner's basement walls when it rained. Our team installed our WaterGuard drainage system along 2 walls of the basement along the footer. A super sump pump system was also installed and tied into the WaterGuard.

Structural Repair in Bear, DE

A homeowner needed repairs and a better space in their basement. We were able to paint the wall and repair the foundation with CarbonArmor as well as install the BrightWall wall system for not only a better look, but for a system to carry unwanted water to the sump pump. We also installed our quality Sanidry dehumidifier which will control the basement's humidity in order to decrease the risk of moisture and mold. The homeowner now has a basement that is safe and enjoyable to spend time in.
