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.
Fortunately, there is a reliable solution and that is basement waterproofing. With a professionally installed waterproofing solutions, Anne Arundel County basements can be safe from flooding, free of basement moisture, and protected from mold growth and possible damage to foundations.

"What a company... a pleasure from beginning to end! No games, just honest, multiple professional solutions for a complicated situation from a wonderful team who got it done and finished with a lifetime guarantee. BWN had done my mother's home over 10 years ago and as guaranteed she has had a dry basement ever since. Jeremy, our first contact who came out and did the assessment was exemplary with our questions and not the typical hard sell. He gave us the best solutions and time to assess, and is a wonderful representative of this company. Eamonn and the crew were amazing, thorough, updated us regularly, always had time for questions, walked through the fine details and left the basement cleaner than before. Totally thrilled with everything this company and their team has done for us. We highly recommend them!!" - Cathie K.
"Glad I called BWN. I had a small ineffective drain outside my walkout basement that often caused my patio to flood and even caused water to get into my home sometimes. They came out and installed a much better drain. Everyone at BWN was responsive, courteous, and nice. They also quoted me a much more reasonable price than I received elsewhere. If I have any future basement or drainage needs in the future I’m definitely calling them." - Chay H.

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.
