Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Contractor in Germantown, MD

Maryland soil is rich in clay, which expands when it comes into contact with water, soaking up moisture and putting pressure on the surroundings. During heavy rainfall, the increased water retention can ramp up the soil’s hydrostatic pressure and damage nearby house foundations, creating cracks and leaks. Increased humidity levels or strange puddles in the basement indicate that it’s necessary to take prompt action. High indoor humidity creates the perfect environment for dust mites, which can drive allergy and asthma flare-ups.

Water could be entering the foundation of a house for several reasons. Standing water around the property, poor roofing or landscaping work, and old plumbing pipes can all contribute to this issue. To keep a Germantown house safe, it’s best to have a professional identify the problem’s source and address it as soon as possible, as humidity and moisture are serious health concerns.

While moisture can seep into the basement through the walls, a damaged foundation or one that isn’t waterproof can be precarious, as it can damage the house’s foundation and, consequently, its structural integrity.

Germantown, MD

The area of Germantown, Maryland, was widely believed to be settled by Native Americans in a place known as “Black Rock” off Black Rock Road thousands of years ago. The settlement remained relatively small and sparse. Then came the Europeans: the three Walters brothers, Basil, William, and Zachariah, inherited the land from their father, William Walters. This family owned a large estate in Brookeville and a significant portion of land in Montgomery County.

In 1840, long after these families had settled in this region, Germantown officially became an unincorporated area under the Montgomery County government’s “Wedges and Corridors Plan.”

Generations ago, the famous Butler’s Orchard began as a modest 37-acre peach farm. Over the years, it has grown to 300+ acres of fruit, vegetables, flowers, and trees. At the farm market, visitors can pick fruit or browse their shelves for items like local honey, gourmet seasonings, and homemade preserves.

On Germantown’s northern border lies Little Seneca Lake. It’s a hotspot during steamy summer months and an important water source for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, the Washington Aqueduct, and Fairfax County Water Authority during an unexpected drought. Little Seneca Creek feeds the lake with its two main tributaries, Ten Mile Creek and Cabin Branch.
