No one likes wet basements.
Yet even homes with solid foundations and no visible cracks on the basement walls can still get wet. Much of that is due to the fact, unlike homeowners in places like Utah or Arizona, those of us living in Maryland and Cecil County in particular, will always have humidity, groundwater, and often excessive rainwater.
And some of this moisture is going to make its way into your basement eventually if it hasn’t already.
This is because moisture in a basement can result from trapped, humid air, or groundwater wicking through concrete walls or floors, and even rainwater that gets deposited too close to your house.
So, what can you do about basement moisture and leaking?
While maintenance and upkeep are essential, ultimately, getting professional basement waterproofing from BWN can be the perfect solution for achieving and maintaining a dry basement.

"I was very pleased with the service. The team was very professional, prompt, clean, and courteous. They had no problems explaining equipment operation and answering questions. I highly recommend BWN." - Lisa F.
"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.

Even though an older home can take on an inviting presence of a solid, well-established structure because of the lush lawns and matured trees and landscaping, they can also sag and settle. And it’s the settling of the foundation that is often the cause of damage in the form of cracks and fissures.
So, what causes that?
That’s a fair question and the answer often surprises many homeowners. More often than not, the cause of most foundation damage is the movement of soil beneath the foundation. And this phenomenon of soil movement is actually caused by water.
Now you might ask how does water in the soil damage a foundation?
One reason is that much of the earth that is packed around foundations as fill is a type known as unstable soil. This simply means that it is soil that is prone to repeatedly changing shape, which affects a foundation in opposite ways.
For example, dry soil conditions can cause soil shrinkage, which diminishes the support on a foundation. And wet soil conditions causes this same soil to expand, putting undo pressure foundation walls. So, while both of these soil conditions can eventually cause some damage to a foundation, when that soil repeats these extremes over time, a foundation can experience damage such as cracks and fractures in the concrete.
And the older a home becomes, the more like it is to experience foundation problems to some degree.
It’s impossible to say with certainly how long any given foundation will sustain its structural integrity. However, certain factors such as the type of fill dirt used around the house, the quality of construction, and the type of material used for the foundation all come into play.
The good news is that no matter when it’s finally time for foundation repair, Cecil County homeowners can rely on Basement Waterproofing Nationwide to take of it quickly, reliably, and affordably.

In Cecil County, as in most areas throughout Maryland, basements are usually equipped with built-in sump pits and sump pumps. This is necessary since our basements are prone to water leaks, as we’ve already noted here previously.

Except that, eventually, our sump pump is no longer quite as trusty.
