Description of Work: Basement Waterproofing. The installers did a great job! Punctual, polite, professional, and the quality was great. I can not speak highly enough of the crew that came to my home. However, the office staff was a little rude, and I felt she was irritated with my call. She also got my name wrong (no where near my real name)and after multiple times of telling them to change it they still call me "Sue". The salesman that came out to do the estimate seemed rushed, he didn't pressure me but he didn't ask a lot of questions and seemed very ready to get out the door. Also, most importantly the salesman said they would have one of their electricians install breaker and outlet for the sump pump. It's been 5 weeks and I haven't seen him yet.... The installers get an "A++" but everyone else would get a "C" at best.

Hello [Member Name Removed], You spoke to Robin Hurst, our office manager, regarding this review and we did not actually complete the work for you. While we did provide an estimate for your basement waterproofing project, you contracted the work to B-Dry here in Knoxville. We are working to get this review removed, but in the meantime we wanted to provide some additional information so everyone is aware. Let us know if we assist you in the future. Thanks, Trevor Jones Director of Marketing

Description of Work: For two days the crew started early and worked late. All debris removed. A wet weather spring had seeped into the basement area. The installed system created a dry basement in a fifty-year old home in Johnson City, Tn.

I am very pleased with them. They came in and gave me an estimate. I needed supports under my home and they did the work with no problems. I would highly recommend them. They were really informative and their products seem excellent. I would have used their complete system but my home did not need that.

The installation of the B-Dry system was acceptable except for the outside drain lines. I had to dig and place them deeper in the ground. Tare-out was done well, however there were issues with replacing what was torn out. They still have not replaced the carpet and it appears that it has been left to me. The contract stated that the carpet would be restored. There are issues between the subcontractors and B-Dry. Also there was pressure to pay before the job was completely done. Not a good business practice.
Description of Work: They installed the B-Dry system inside around the front basement of the house.

Crew arrived Saturday around 11:00 AM, explained the process, laid and draped plastic to protect furniture and began jackhammer and digging to footers. They worked until approx 9:00PM and returned the next morning at approx 9:00 AM and completed the job around 3:00 PM. Cleaned area to my satisfaction and hauled off all debris.
Description of Work: Sales Consultant Jeremy O'Bannon arrived as scheduled and answered all my questions. Even though B-Dry was the most expensive quote, they offer 5 year no interest payment options which fit my budget. Waterproofed approx 12 ft of my downstairs area plus storage area that I am planning on refinishing for additional living space. Crew worked exceptionally hard, even had to return on a Sunday to complete the work. The main reason I rated B on price was that they were the most expensive, but you get what you pay for. Rated a B on punctuality due to the fact that I was told it was a 1 day job and took 2 days, but the crew was excellent. No complaints, but waiting on the first deluge to see if it works!

As far as I know this company did a competent job. However, I later found that this basement had been waterproofed in the past (I live out of state). It definitely needed repair as the foundation was leaking. I would have at least felt the owner should have informed me that the basement had been waterproofed before but he did not. Furthermore, the guy we worked with never communicated with us after the job was completed. I only found out it was completed after my tennants informed me.

I searched for companies that provide services for basement waterproofing. Three or four other companies came out and all the companies were going to do basically the same thing. I thought B-Dry was the most professional and I liked their price the best. Plus, they provide a lifetime guarantee. Even if you sell the house, the guarantee goes to the next owner.

It was fine. They gave excellent service it was fast and they provided the work they said they would. They provide a life guarantee on the work. B-Dry does not have a yearly fee that you have to pay on the warranty unlike a competitor that does charge for that. I am going to be using them for a second location as well.
Description of Work: They did the trench system. They waterproofed the concrete block. They put membrane on the wall. They put a stiffer membrane on the lower wall and extended it to the area that they jack hammered for the trough and the sump pump.

We had to have them come out to plug a few leaks in the vinyl wall panels, but they were always very good about coming out without any issue. We had a humidity problem in the basement and after a few attempts to correct it, B-Dry installed a dehumidifier to keep our basement at the right %.
Description of Work: They installed carbon fiber strips for the first part of fixing our leaky basement. The next part of our basement waterproofing was the actual installation. We looked at our available options and made the choice to handle the water issue rather than try to prevent it. So instead of having a trench dug around our foundation and waterproofing done that way, B-Dry drilled weep holes for the water to drain from the cement block walls, a trench in the floor was dug to channel water, a sump pump was installed and the cement block walls were covered with a vinyl material. What looked like a gutter was placed in the trench and was then covered with concrete and smoothed out to be level with the floor. The company did come back and install a dehumidifier to get the humidity to the proper level.

We have not had any water and the humidity has been below 60%. They are very professional. They came in and did what they said they would in the amount of time they initially estimated. They are very honest as well. We can tell a huge difference. There is no basement smell. It has added tremendous value to our home, livability, and enjoyment.
Description of Work: They provided the B-Dry system to capture water in a trench system and directing it to a sump pump and the Blue Canyon system as well which works with lowering the humidity.

I think they did a good job. It was a huge project. It was a huge cost but it was a necessary project we needed done on our home regarding our moisture and flooding issues.
Description of Work: I used them for water proofing our basement. They did a big process of channeling water out of our basement so we wouldn't have any flooding. The install outflow pipes so the water is away from the house. They treated the walls for any mold. They also installed a de-humidifier.

The estimate was $4,000 and the final price was a shocking $10,000. They did tell us the price would be extra for additional depth - but that it almost never ever happened... however.our overage was more than the original estimate! Do not feel we were accurately warned about what we could realistically expect. The guys who came were good and thorough - not faulting them. It solved the problem - just with much more expense than we ever anticipated.

They went through a discovery process to find out the solution. They would find out where the leak was coming from and recommend a solution. The rep came and poked around the house. He told me the problem was bigger than I thought it was. He showed me stains in the storage area and furnace area, but all I wanted was for the leaking area. I had to prep the areas before they came in. They then, put in their system. A trough in the whole area, sealer a couple feet up the wall. It was a very extensive job. When the people came to put the drywall back in, they said I had a problem. The leaking area wasn't fixed at all. After many calls, I finally got someone to come out here. He told me I had the wrong system put in. He said the paperwork showed that I declined the one that would have fixed the problem. I had spoke to the VP and operations manager, they were yelling at me and are telling me that I have to pay more money and tear out more walls and have a system put in that will work. I no longer have trust in them and have an unlivable space in the basement. They are not sympathetic to my concerns or problems.
Description of Work: There was a leak coming in on one of the walls in a dead space. At first I tried to take care of the issue from the outside. A builder had recommended B-Dry to me for work to be done on the inside.

They spent 2 or 3 days working on the wall. There is no water on the wall anymore. It is supporting the house and no longer starting to sag or buckle under. I don't know the size of the basement but to just fix that area only cost $1500 which I thought was really good.

We were very pleased with the service. We figure that a service like this will save us in the long run for future problems that we might occur. I would recommend this company to anyone. They have a great business and the sales people are very friendly and courteous. They just overwhelm me with the devotion that a lot of the employees have for a single company.
Description of Work: We needed a trench to be dug about 200 feet around the exterior of our home so that the water did not damage the basement, and the system will pump out the water that is collected in the trenches. This company did the work for us.
