Innovative Structural & Basement Repair Company in Randallstown, MD

Recently, we at Basement Systems had the privilege of helping a homeowner in Randallstown, MD, solve a persistently vexing problem. Every time it rained, their finished basement welcomed water. Understandably frustrated and concerned about the potential for long-term damage, they reached out to us for help. The process kicked off with our Customer Care team, who swiftly arranged a home inspection. A System Design Specialist from our Sales Team then took a closer inspection and diagnosed the problem. They recommended a robust solution designed to keep the basement dry irrespective of weather conditions: the installation of our innovative WaterGuard interior drainage system and the TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard is uniquely designed to sit along the perimeter of the basement, capturing water that seeps in and directing it to the sump pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is a workhorse—offering three levels of protection and capable of handling the heaviest of downpours efficiently. Our experienced production team got to work, installing these systems with minimal fuss and utmost professionalism. 

When a devastating hurricane hit Randallstown, MD, it was a wake-up call for one of our homeowners. Water began seeping into their basement, a problem they had never encountered before. The homeowner reached out to us, distressed by the damage and eager to find a rapid solution. Understanding the urgency, our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a home inspection to assess the extent of the damage. Upon inspection, it was evident that the basement’s inability to handle such an extreme weather event was the core issue. Without any existing waterproofing system in place since the home was acquired in 2015, the basement was vulnerable to any substantial rainfall, let alone a hurricane. Our System Design Specialist diligently examined the basement to devise a tailored solution that would not only address the current problem but also prevent future water damage. The recommended plan included the installation of a robust waterproofing system comprising high-efficiency sump pumps and an effective drainage system to reroute incoming water. 

The basement in this church had a monolithic foundations. Monolothic foundation are different then standard foundations because the floor is poured as part of the footer and the foundation walls are placed on top of the floor.  This means that we cannot cut the floor to install the traditional sub-floor drainage system to waterproof the basement. 

After we removed the walls, toilet, and sink, we installed the DryTrak cove channel system that drains water away without cutting the floor.  The bathroom is waterproofed and ready to be put back together.
