Most basements are susceptible to water damage because the concrete and the soil next to it easily absorbs moisture. In addition, in a climate such as that in Maryland, the soil tends to stay relatively moist most of the year.
And because it is mostly un-compacted fill, the soil around your foundation is often much more porous than undisturbed, natural soil.
All of which means that groundwater can seep through the soil and up against the foundation walls that make up your basement. And this water can and often does seep into your basement.
Commonly, water seepage often occurs at the joint where the basement wall meets the floor. Other common causes include local flooding, groundwater seepage, and even excessive surface water moving into the space between the fill soil and the foundation walls.
Aside from potential damage to items stored in your basement and the basement structure itself, chronically damp basements can result in the growth of mold and mildew which create a real and potentially serious health hazard.
Mold and mildew contain allergens and other respiratory irritants that can be picked up by touching or breathing them. These particles can then cause allergic reactions and other issues, especially for small children and those with respiratory problems.

"I had a great experience with BWN, the new drain outside my basement door has stopped the rain water from flowing over the step & into our basement. Before I had the drain replaced by BWN, water would collect & begin flowing over the step & into our basement, and if not checked would & has inundated our basement. Great job, thanks so much."

And, while this movement might be subtle and even unnoticeable to the eye, it ultimately causes damage to the foundation of the house.
A common reason for this is known as unstable soil. Due to the presence of groundwater, this type of soil can shift, which affects a home’s foundation in different ways. For example, when the soil dries over time it will begin to shrink. This can cause the soil to pull away from the foundation, which reduces the support around your foundation.
Alternately, excessive groundwater can, in turn, add additional pressure to your foundation walls. By themselves, each of these soil movements can cause damage to a foundation over time. But when the soil around your foundation cycles through these extremes year after year, the result can be foundation damage including cracks and fractures.
The good news is that for professional and reliable foundation repair, Annapolis and other Anne Arundel County homeowners can count on BWN.
