Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Anne Arundel County

Anne Arundel County sits on the Atlantic Coastal Plain, where layered sandy and clay soils meet the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn, Magothy, Patapsco and South rivers. Rain sinks quickly through the sandy layers, then the clay holds it, so the ground near many homes stays wet long after a storm. Heavy summer downpours, humid air and freeze-thaw winters all add stress to basements, foundations and crawl spaces, whether the house is a waterfront cottage or a newer townhome.

Best Buy Waterproofing provides basement waterproofing in Anne Arundel County, along with foundation repair and crawl space repair, from Glen Burnie and Severn to Annapolis and Severna Park. Our Columbia office is close by, just over the line in Howard County. We are licensed in Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia, and our insured, in-house team handles every step. Each project begins with a free inspection, and we are available 24/7 when a problem cannot wait.

I contacted Best Buy Waterproofing through referral. Richard Eagan came out and did a thorough analysis of our basement area letting us know how to best waterproof it through a sub floor pressure release system with a sump pump. He even sat at our table and sketched it out for us to easily digest the process. After a little back... Read More »

Jay Morsberger from Best Buy Waterproofing stood out among several companies that inspected my flooded basement. He explained the source of the problem and what needed to be done with great knowledge and professionalism. His experience gave me confidence, and I knew he was the right person to trust with the job. Thank you, Jay!

Best Buy Waterproofing came quickly to provide a free estimate. Jay came to assess the hole in my basement slab that had a whole with the remains of a basin. He was friendly and provided an honest assessment that I didn't really need their services to just fill the hole. I had not been sure if something... Read More »

I had a great experience with Joe. He is honest, punctual, and answered my questions very patiently. His quality of work is also top-notch! I had three other companies try to upsell services, but Joe’s knowledge and honesty made him and Best Buy easy to trust. I would highly recommend this company, especially because of Joe.

Common Problems in Anne Arundel County Homes

Layered sandy and clay soil, wet ground near the Bay and its rivers, humid summers and freeze-thaw winters are tough on the homes of Anne Arundel County. These are the problems homeowners call us about most.

Basements That Stay Damp After Storms

Near the Chesapeake Bay and rivers like the Severn and Magothy, the ground can stay saturated for days after heavy rain. That water presses on foundation walls and seeps through cracks, block and the cove joint. Interior drainage with a sump pump relieves the pressure, and exterior waterproofing is an option where there is room to dig. Basement Waterproofing →

Cracking and Settling Foundations

Clay layers swell when wet and shrink when dry, while soaked sandy soil and loose fill can lose support under a footing. The result can be bowing walls, stair-step cracks and sinking corners. We stabilize walls with carbon fiber straps or steel I-beam braces, rebuild failed block walls and support settling foundations with push or helical piers. Foundation Repair →

Wet Crawl Spaces Under Older Shore Homes

Many older homes near the water, including converted cottages, sit over low crawl spaces with bare soil and open vents. Ground moisture and humid Bay air collect underneath, causing musty odors, rot and sagging floors. Crawl space encapsulation seals the space with a heavy-duty liner and a dehumidifier that drains automatically. Crawl Space Repair →

Mold in Lower Levels

Where moisture lingers, mold follows. We find the source, contain the area, remove the growth with HEPA filtration running and then fix the leak or humidity problem behind it, so the mold does not return to your basement or crawl space. Mold Remediation →

Cold Floors and Drafty Basements

Uninsulated rim joists and bare basement or crawl space walls let winter air and moisture into the house. Closed-cell spray foam seals those gaps and insulates in one layer, helping the floors above stay warmer and more comfortable. Spray Foam Insulation →

Where is your office?

Why do homes near the water get damp basements and crawl spaces?

Ground near the Bay and its rivers often stays wet longer after storms, and the clay layers in local soil hold that water against foundations. Humid summer air adds moisture too. Drainage, sump pumps and crawl space encapsulation keep that water and humidity out of the house.

Can you work on historic or older homes?

Yes. From older brick homes in Annapolis to mid-century houses in the northern part of the county, we inspect the foundation, explain how it is performing and recommend repairs that suit its construction.

Do I need a permit for this work?

It depends on the scope of the project. When a permit is required, we handle it as part of the job and let you know ahead of time.

Is the inspection free, and do you offer financing?

Yes to both. A specialist inspects your basement, foundation or crawl space and recommends a solution with no obligation, and financing options are available for Anne Arundel County homeowners.
