A homeowner in District Heights, MD, was grappling with the persistent challenges of a wet basement. The problems were hard to miss—peeling paint, damp walls, and an uncomfortable, humid environment that made the space unusable. Beyond the visible damage, there was also growing concern about potential long-term risks like mold growth and structural deterioration. Determined to restore their basement and protect their home, the homeowner reached out, looking for an effective and permanent solution.
After a thorough inspection, we identified the key issues and proposed a comprehensive basement waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s needs. The first step was addressing moisture seeping into the space. To tackle this, we recommended the CleanSpace vapor barrier system, designed to seal out moisture and create a clean, bright surface on the basement walls. Next, to manage and redirect water effectively, we introduced the WaterGuard interior drainage system, which captures water at the entry point along the perimeter and channels it to the sump pump. The backbone of the system was the SuperSump pump, a high-performance unit capable of efficiently removing water during heavy rainfall, ensuring the basement stayed dry at all times. To safeguard against clogs caused by freezing during colder months, we added the reliable IceGuard discharge line protection system, providing an extra layer of security.
This combination of solutions addressed both the current moisture issues and the risk of future water damage, transforming the problematic space in the process. The results were remarkable. The dark, damp basement was transformed into a dry, clean, and functional area. The CleanSpace liner not only acted as a moisture barrier but also gave the basement a refreshed, polished look. Together, the WaterGuard, SuperSump, and IceGuard systems worked seamlessly to keep water out and maintain a comfortable environment, even during Maryland’s unpredictable weather.
The homeowner was overjoyed with the transformation, knowing their basement was now protected against future water challenges and that the upgraded space had added considerable value to their home.

Recently, a homeowner in District Heights, MD, reached out to us, facing a challenging and all-too-familiar problem - water intrusion in their basement. This wasn't about a little dampness; they were dealing with wet walls and peeling paint, clear signs of unwelcome moisture and humidity wreaking havoc. Understanding the critical nature of their issue, they contacted us, seeking a solution that would not just temporarily fix the problem but offer a lasting resolution. After receiving their call, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a home inspection. When our System Design Specialist visited their home, they performed a comprehensive evaluation. They diagnosed the root cause and suggested a tailored solution that would meet the homeowner’s needs. Our recommendation was the installation of our trusted products: SuperSump, WaterGuard, IceGuard, and CleanSpace. Each of these components plays a vital role in basement waterproofing. SuperSump tackles the issue of water by efficiently pumping it out of the basement. WaterGuard serves as an exceptional drainage system, discreetly installed to channel basement water to the sump pump. IceGuard ensures that even in the coldest months, the system works flawlessly, preventing backups due to frozen pipes. Lastly, CleanSpace was added as a wall covering to block moisture and improve the basement's overall environment. A team of our skilled installers, led by an experienced foreman, executed the installation, transforming the gloomy, damp basement into a dry, pleasant space. Upon completion, the homeowner was thrilled. Not only had the space been reclaimed, but the worry of future water damage was significantly minimized, showcasing our commitment to delivering a remarkable customer experience and providing reliable solutions to homeowners' concerns.
The customer expressed worry about an excessive amount of soil eroding from the retaining wall adjacent to their driveway. Upon conducting their own examination, the homeowner also observed that the basement steps at the rear were beginning to separate from the main structure. Our technical advisor visited the property for a comprehensive assessment. During this inspection, the advisor identified cracks on the external walls of the foundation. The implemented solution involved fixing these cracks using NexusPro. We also cleaned out the gutters, extended the downspout, and rerouted the water using an external discharge line. Finally we regraded the existing retaining wall in order to redirect the water away from the foundation.
