"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.

However, time and the seasons can still wreak havoc on older homes. And not-so-old homes, as well…
Any home is vulnerable to the ravages of time and weather, and despite the most diligent efforts at home maintenance, things happen.
With the older age of many communities within the City of Baltimore there is also a large number of homes built on stone or brick foundations, materials that are not in common use for foundations today. These foundations can often leak for different reasons than today’s more modern cement block and solid concrete foundations. As such it is imperative to identify the source of the water and address it appropriately so as to not cause more problems, often structural, as a result of the misapplication of traditional waterproofing methods. Your qualified inspector would take these factors into consideration before making a recommendation.
As it happens, older structures are more likely to develop foundation issues. The likelihood of this occurring – and the severity of damage – depends on several factors. For example, determining how long a foundation will last is partly dependent on the quality of the buildings construction and the type of materials used to lay the foundation.
The good news is that BWN provides expert and affordable foundation repair for residents of the city of Baltimore. In fact, we’ve offered foundation repair services Baltimore City homeowners have relied on since 1987.

Basements in Maryland and in the city of Baltimore are prone to water seepage.
And this can happen even without cracks in the foundation or basement walls. Seepage can be the result of surface water run-off after a storm that has leached deep into the ground and found its way into a basement. Most of the time this will occur along the floor and wall joints.
Then there are issues with the occasional flooding that can happen. As the state of Maryland’s Department of Emergency Management (MDEM) points out,
“Maryland is subject to flooding from several different sources. Flash floods tend to come after short periods of heavy rain and most often affect small streams and creeks. General flooding comes from more prolonged steady rain and tends to affect larger streams and rivers.”
And this certainly includes Baltimore City.
The standard solution for managing these intrusions of basement water is having a built-in sump pit with a reliable sump pump installed.
A reliable and working sump pump is critical for efficiently removing any water build-up from a serious storms and minor flooding. Typically, flood waters begin pooling at the lowest point in a home. And in many homes in Baltimore, the basement is that point.
Without a working sump pump, the pooling water can damage items stored in a basement, as well as cause rot, trigger mold growth, warp wood structures.
The good news is that for fast and efficient sump pump repair or replacement, homeowners in the city of Baltimore have relied on BWN for over three decades.

While Baltimoreans are justifiably proud of their city and consider it a special place, being an independent city means that it is special in its own right.
Of course, with a population of more than half a million people, one would be quite correct in assuming that there are a vast number of homes in Baltimore City, or Charm City, as it is still fondly referred to. In fact, according to the Baltimore Business Journal, the city had 294,858 housing units within its city limits in 2019, with 139,053 dating back to 1939 or earlier.
When you factor in the commonly accepted estimate that 30 to 35 percent of Maryland homes have basements – except those on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay – that means well over 80,000 basements are in Baltimore.
And what all these basements have in common is that they can leak.
Which is why Basement Waterproofing Nationwide has specialized in fixing basement leaks and waterproofing basements in Baltimore for almost 30 years. To date, BWN has 16,000 clients in Baltimore City, totaling $22 Million in basement work completed.
