Dry Basement Foundation Repair

A representative came out about two weeks before the service was performed. He inspected the wall we were concerned about and explained what he thought needed to be done, in great detail. We decided on the spot to go with this company because of how their system works to hold foundation walls. I'd researched others and didn't like how it looked like it wasn't going to hold for years. This one has a couple thousand pounds of concrete poured to help the rods stabilize the walls. After signing the contract, they sent a rep out the Friday before they were supposed to start to make sure things were set to go. I showed him another wall that hadn't been exposed due to drywall being up before. I had taken it down and there were large cracks there as well. He took pictures and said he'd get them to his boss to see if stabilizing that wall was recommended. It was. When the crew showed up on Monday, they were on time. The crew leader was very polite and all of the crew members introduced themselves. They were a very nice group of guys. The work was supposed to last 1 day, but they had trouble getting concrete so it took a second day. The crew leader explained what had happened and obviously felt bad. I wasn't concerned as I just wanted it done right. Upon completion of the work, they explained again what they had done and showed me how to monitor the sump pump. They cleaned up their materials and the mess. One of the drawbacks of this system is it does tear up your yard to dig the trench for the cement. We will have to reseed it. Another note is that I feel that the price of this service is fair. However, it is not cheap and there are cheaper options. I just didn't feel the other systems were nearly strong enough for my peace of mind. While I feel the price is reasonably fair for the work they do, I don't think it's a bargain. The warranty is good though.

My son had started my basement remodeling project, but was unable to complete it by the time he moved. I attended a local remodel show and spoke with Dry Basements. I was impressed with their product, so I had them come out to my house and provide an estimate. I had spoken with my neighbors who also had remodel work completed and was told a ball-park figure on what to expect a project such as this to cost per square foot. My neighbors expected Dry Basement to be significantly higher simply because of the product. To my amazement the quote was competitive. What I liked about the remodel project was that I had only one contact - Dry Basements. They lined up all the different contractors (plumbing, electrical, tile, flooring, carpentry, installing a gas fireplace, etc). Every one was professional and punctual. Dry Basement even used my extra supplies left over from my son's project and completed the work he didn't finish. They stayed true to their quote. If I changed my mind and wanted something different, it was no problem. They were respectful and adjusted the project accordingly. If I had more basement to remodel I would definitely use them again. If you are thinking about a basement remodeling project I strongly encourage you to at least get a quote from Dry Basements.

everything thing went pretty good. came on time, finished up a little earlier than they thought. the electrician came on 12/9 and finished up in about 4 to 5 hours. aesthetically looks nice. They cleaned up the outside nicely. they broke one of the basement panes on the outside, but fixed the next day. Dry Basement also gave me a 39 year warranty that is transferrable. All though they did clean up I think, if they used a shop vacuum, clean up on the inside would have been better . They took a door off and never said anything about coming back and putting it back on. All in all they did the job and my basement looks better for it.

Had a basement leak due to some exterior issues. Ryan from Dry Basement assessed the situation and provided a thorough, honest and low-cost solution. The solution didn't even include their service since it was an outdoor issue. No sales bull, just good, honest service. Will definitely call again if the need arises.

When we called they were backed up on when they could give estimates as much as a month out. The Des Moines area had a very wet May and June. They were professional over the phone and later came out to give estimate. We hired someone else to do the job because they could do the work sooner and this was one of our rental properties. Estimate: $2500.00

fast-friendly and clean up great we had flood damage and needed to make sure this was not going to happen again-we had 3 of our four wall re tiled and a 2nd sump added-also wall covering so there will never be a issue with mold-they took down and then the manager himself came and help to re set them -DRY, DRY, DRY ! Very pleased wit the service and they are just around the corner

The crew came in the first day and began cutting into the floor around the perimeter of the basement taking care of two separate rooms and the furnace room, which connects to the new basement through a doorway. As the work progressed the window wells were opened along the side of the basement closest to the driveway and window drains were installed to help control the water flow into the new drainage system. Next the dual sump-pump system was installed and the provider gave us complete details on how the system would work. He then asked us for input on how to locate the external drain to the exterior and we showed the installer where we would be installing a new deck and asked that the discharge point would be placed out clear of the overhang of the deck and would follow the edge of the existing concrete pad that would remain under the new deck. Next the installers brought loads of crushed rock to be used in back filling the interior drain channels along the perimeter of the basement floor. It was loaded from the driveway through one of the window wells that had previously been opened up along the driveway. The No-Water-System was placed in the channels and then covered with concrete and smoothed out. The floor was thoroughly cleaned and swept and then an open drain was installed below the floor level in the doorway connecting the old basement to the new. This crew was exceptionally courteous and cheerful. They were a delight to have in our home. We would recommend Spencer, Randy, and Zach to anyone. John Peterson was directly involved in the sump-pump installation and also provided the services of sales representative and foreman for the job. He was thorough, professional, and an absolute dear. They were all pleasant to be around and did not object to questions or a little light humor and such as the job proceeded.

Crew was polite and thorough and worked hard and diligent for my family. Awesome crew!!!

The crew of young men that worked on my foundation were courteous, neat, and very efficient at their job.

Everything went fine. No complaints. Took extra care not to track anything into the house.

I was extremely satisfied with the job Dry Basement did on my foundation. They were reliable, on time, and a pleasure to work with.
