Before & After Photos

The owner of this restaurant in Elkton Md reached out to Basement Systems USA looking for help for his wet basement. For as long as his restaurant has been open, he has been getting water in the basement and since the basement always collected water, he could not utilize this large space for much needed storage.

After sending our inspector Keith Miller out to assess this basement, he came up with the best solution to not only keep it dry during rainy weather, but to also make this large basement, a useable space.

This installation consisted of Waterguard and a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier around the full perimeter of the basement, two Triple Safe Sump Pumps with Ultra Sump Battery Back-ups and a Trench Drain. We also removed and hauled away most of the current concrete floor and poured a new concrete pad in its place.

This customer had an old broken basement window that was currently being covered by a piece of foam. If you don't mind a spike in your energy bill due to cold air leaking in or a wet basement due to water leaking in, then this would not concern you, but to this customer, it was concerning and she was ready to correct it.

We came out and installed a brand new EverLast Basement Window and a Sunhouse Enclosure which includes a window well and cover. This alone will not guarantee a moisture free basement, but we can guarantee a dry basement when tied in with a Wellduct, Waterguard and a SumpPump, which can also be added in at a later time. To finish up the project we went around the basement and sprayed our RimTight Spray foam to cover any cracks or gaps in the foundation to assure no cold drafts would get in. 

After the project Basement Systems USA has completed, the customer is now on the right track to having an energy efficient and dry basement. 

Our team installed our UltraSump system, replacing the old sump pump.

To prevent water seepage in this Elkton basement, our team installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the footer of the basement, and installed the new SuperSump pump system you see in these photos!
