We went out and offered our opinion on his foundation crack and wall that was leaning. The crack could not be repaired with any simple approaches. We told him a couple of options and left it has a verbal quote. Not sure why we were graded on this estimate as we did not do any work for the client. Curt-owner

Description of Work: I had a very good experience working with Steve and his crew to install an interior perimeter drain, wall waterproofing, and sump pump in my basement. I have had a lot of work done on my house by other tradespeople over the years and have experienced everything from rude behavior, shoddy work, and even theft. But a few contractors have stood head and shoulders above the others and Steve of Real Dry Waterproofing is one of them. Steve was extremely responsive and courteous and carried out the work on time and through to completion without a hitch. He was extremely careful not to damage anything of mine in the work area; they kept the mess to a minimum, cleaned up after themselves, and put everything they had moved back exactly as they found it. He and his crew were not only courteous to me but also to each other. One worker commented that he loved his job which says a lot. Steve supervised his workers very well, observing and patiently providing them with guidance as they did their work. Per my request, Steve explained every phase of the work he was doing. He clarified and asked for my input as needed. I know exactly what I paid for, how it was installed and how it is supposed to work. The work was a big expense but I feel that the price was very fair and I am not only pleased with the results but also pleased at how easy Steve made it for me.

Response from Real Dry Waterproofing - Holyoke
In fairness to our company, it has been a record breaking winter that has made things extremely difficult for everyone in our business and other related construction companies. Also, Salem is at the far end of our coverage area and sometimes it is difficult to get up there, especially considering the travel limitations brought on by this difficult winter. In response to Donna's comments, we did try and make one appointment, but the weather was less than cooperative. I do not believe there was a second appointment. I told her I would call and try and set up another appointment in the near future. At any rate, I believe that Donna was not going to meet us, but rather a friend or relative of hers. I did call the number, but did not get an answer. I will gladly try and help Donna with a future appointment and even offer our Angie's List discount. We can also offer a phone quote for her services requested which I believe was a sump pump install. So, we are here for Donna, but in taking everything in context that was spelled out above, I think it is only fair to consider the whole picture here. Thank you Curt Guenther-owner

Description of Work: They cleaned out a crawl space of debris, sprayed for mold, and installed a liner. Repointed the old stone foundation and sprayed for mold and sealer. Everything looks good, and were happy to have it done. Verbal price was $3100, written price was $4100 to $4600. Ended up at the high price. And again were happy to have it done. Overall they did a nice job.

Description of Work: After the initial contact, we had issues with their response time to our inquiries. I understand that we contacted them during a very busy time for them, but we feel they could have responded more quickly than they did. The inspection of our basement went well, but we hired a different contractor who had proposed a different and less expensive method to prevent water from leaking in to our basement.

The team arrived promptly and performed the work exactly as described. There were no surprises or hidden costs. The team thoroughly cleaned up all debris after the job was complete. The work itself was of high quality and workmanship. I highly recommend this company and would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: We have been getting water seepage in our basement due to ground water issues. We had several companies come and provide estimates for a perimeter drainage system in our basement. Stephen provided a detailed estimate and was very helpful and honest with us in considering all of our options. Rather than force us to do the whole house all at once as the other companies would have, Stephen was accommodating to our preference to do only half the house (at a great price) so we could see if that is enough to resolve the issue, with the option of adding on to the system in the future. His crew was prompt and professional. Stephen was onsite both days to oversee the installation. Specifically, they drilled down through the concrete floor and installed perforated PVC drainage pipe (surrounded by gravel) along 2 walls. Installed a zoeller sump pump in a covered basin that the pipes drain into, with a discharge pipe to the outside. On the second work day, they re-poured concrete to cover over the gravel/drainage pipes, leaving a 1/4 inch gap to allow for collection of wall condensation/seepage.They also installed a speed drain in front of our basement bulkhead door that drains into the sump. We are very pleased with the team's performance as well as the finished product.

The end of Sept I had a flood in my basement because my lawn sprinkler system let go, I was getting ready to start finishing work when I noticed there was some water on the floor, it had rained the day before. I went on Angie's list to see if I could get someone to check out the problem . I called real dry and Stephen Wall the owner came a couple hours later, Stephen explained to me what needed to be done and why, he and his crew started the job 3 days later.They laid tarps on my porch and in my home they always cleaned up after themselves, they were very considerate of my home, Stephen has the greatest crew they were very nice and considerate and professional. I would highly recommend Real Dry to anyone.
Description of Work: Real Dry waterproofing came in, jackhammered a trench around perimeter of my basement, put in a perforated pipe and washed stone, drain tile and vapor barrier that connected to basin and pump that pumps the water outside.

We had consistent flooding in our basement over the years. Steve came in and waterproofed the basement. Since the work was done we've been thorough Hurricane Irene and other major rain falls and we haven't had any flooding. Steve and his crew did an excellent job and were very friendly and helpful. Initially there were some minor issues after the project was finished and Steve was prompt and easy to work with in resolving them and we were very pleased with his attitude in responding to our needs. All in all this was surprisingly easy project to do with Steve. I would highly recommend him with no hesitation.

They were really good. We really didn't have the rain yet, so it is really hard to tell. They were professional. We will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We hired Real Dry Waterproofing LLC for basement waterproofing about two weeks ago. They dug a trench around the part of the perimeter of my basement, and put in a sump pump and a well. They covered it with the concrete, so the water level doesn’t come up, and it rather goes through the sump pump.

Our basement had flooded during the last big rain and we were able to use a portable pump at the time to pump it right out before any belongings were damaged. We knew we we needed to have a sump pump installed because after talking to neighbors we discovered that it's not an uncommon problem in our area. After getting several estimates from different companies on Angie's list we chose to go with Real Dry Waterproofing because we really liked Steve Wall the owner and the system he uses. He is VERY thorough from start to finish and his price was MUCH less than some of the other quotes we received. I must say also that he works right alongside of the men that he employs and they are some of the nicest and trustworthy guys I've met in a long time. We live in a large 3000 sq foot house in Amherst MA built in 1927 from brick and we love our home and we now feel confident that the problem was corrected. We HIGHLY recommend him!!!
Description of Work: The perimeter of our basement was jackhammered out from the wall and dug down to the footing of the foundation. A large black perforated hose was installed the whole distance of the ditch sloping down towards the end of the basement where the sump pump they installed could pump out the water as it accumulated in the pit. The black hose was covered up with coarse gravel and then they cemented over the gravel to bring back the floor of the basement to how it looked before they started.
