Even if your home has a solid foundation with no cracks on the basement walls, the fact is you’re your basement can get wet. Part of that is because, unlike climates in the Southwest, Maryland and Frederick County will always humidity, groundwater, and rainwater.
In fact, almost no basement is ever completely free of moisture of some kind, no matter how dry the soil is around your foundation,
Your basement may be free of leaks and any hairline cracks or fractures in the floor or walls have been repaired. But in the environment of Maryland moisture in a basement can take the form of trapped, humid air, or wicking groundwater, or even rainwater from poorly placed downspouts. And one of the unhealthier results can be the growth of mold and mildew.
Why is mold unhealthy?

"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.

Unfortunately, however, as homes get older their foundations also “settle” and, in some cases, shift a bit. This can cause damage to both the exterior and interior of a home. In fact, along with peeling paint, aging roofs, sagging fences, and leaking gutters and downspouts, the foundations and basements of older homes often need maintenance and repair, as well.
And why is that?
Typically, the movement of soil beneath the foundation over time can lead to minor structural damage in a foundation. We talk about houses and foundations “settling” but this dynamic can actually be caused by soil movement due to water.
A fair question to ask at this point might be, “How does water in the soil damage my foundation?”
Expansive soil, for example, can repeatedly change shape, which has different effects on a home’s foundation. While dry conditions can cause the soil to shrink, reducing support for your foundation, wet conditions causes this soil to expand, which then puts added pressure against your foundation.
Although either of these soil conditions can be damaging to a foundation, when the soil cycles through these extremes, the foundation can suffer visible damage such as cracks and fractures.
The bad news is that older homes are especially prone to foundation problems as a result. No one can say how long foundations or basement walls will retain their integrity. But part of the equation – in addition to the type of soil around the house – is the home’s quality of construction and the materials were used for the foundation.
The good news is that when they need foundation repair, Frederick County homeowners can count on BWN to provide them with expert and affordable foundation.
