Notes (optional)

Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Annapolis, MD: what local homeowners should know

Salt air, high humidity, a high water table near the Severn and South Rivers and coastal nuisance flooding all accelerate wear on homes close to the water. Annapolis has 18th- and 19th-century homes downtown, 1950s–1970s waterfront cottages and ranches, and newer homes on the Annapolis Neck peninsula. Ask companies whether they recommend interior drain tile and a sump pump, exterior excavation and membrane, or crack injection, and why that fits your foundation type.

Before you hire in Annapolis

Permits: residential permits for Annapolis addresses are issued by the City of Annapolis Department of Planning & Zoning (inside city limits) or Anne Arundel County Inspections & Permits (outside the city). Ask each company whether your job needs one and who pulls it.
Local rules: The Annapolis Historic District requires Historic Preservation Commission approval for many exterior changes.
