We spent too many years dealing on our own with basement water issues. We finally decided to get some help and reached out to Steve Wall at REAL DRY WATERPROOFING after getting a very high recommendation from a neighbor and reading the many online reviews from satisfied customers who had a variety of basement water situations. We called and he stopped by later that day! Steve clearly explained in detail what he would do to end our water problem: install a sump pump in one corner and a French drain around the perimeter of our 1500 sq ft basement. The drain was needed because the water was seeping up through the concrete floor. We also had a small crawl space under an addition on the back of the house that needed its own small sump pump. He gave us a reasonable cost estimate and shortly after his visit, he and his team started the project. Steve, Chris, Simon, and Matt were all top-notch professionals, extremely competent, and very respectful. At the end of each day, Steve kept us in the loop showing what they had done and planned to do going forward. He patiently answered all of our questions. His team also went above and beyond in helping with an extra request that we could not have done ourselves for which we are truly grateful. In addition, he stayed true to the original estimate! He even called a week or so later to touch base. We no longer have any worries at all when it rains. There is not a speck of water anywhere! If you are looking for an honest expert team and want to feel completely confident in getting a high-quality solution for your water problem, call REAL DRY WATERPROOFING!! We are so very happy we did.

It has been almost a year since I hired this service and every single day I am so thankful I did. My basement is 100% dry and comfortable. They provided clean and professional service without disrupting my family, everyone was respectful and kind to have around, the pricing was well worth every penny and I was so impressed that they cleaned up after themselves. This company takes pride in providing you spectacular service at a price you can afford.Thank you gentlemen for your dedication in completing a superb job.

We had a very large and complex project and the crew did a outstanding job. We won't know if it ultimately solved the problem until the next heavy rains, but I'm betting we have no further problems.

Straightforward in quoting the project. Gave honest quote that was right where expected cost to be. Showed up on-time as promised and completed project on-time. Had some good suggestions for the project and made several minor changes at reasonable extra cost after first discussing plans. Would rehire for another project.

Steve was very responsive, honest about timelines and showed me exactly what was needed. He did not try to upsell me in the cost of work to be done and what was needed. He showed me how to follow up on his work to complete the job to save me money. He also came back to see how everything turned out after his work dried and I did my part. Overall, a good experience! Two other companies that responded would have done more work than necessary. One sent some great information and was polite when I chose Steve. The other company was rude and was not a good match for what I needed.

Steve Wall and his crew were honest, fast, hard working and delivered exactly what they promised, in a difficult area of 4' crawl space, trenching and putting in sump pump and clear shield. These are local guys who've been in the business a long time.

Curt was very responsive. They showed up when they said they would and finished ahead of schedule. We now have a dry basement without any musty smell.

We were in a pinch when we called to have the exterior walls of our new foundation waterproofed and gave Real Dry a seemingly impossible deadline based on construction timelines, weather and temperature. We fully expected them to decline, but were thrilled when they heartily took on the challenge and exceeded all our expectations in terms of response time, professionalism, and quality of product/work. Curt was on site for the whole project; site was immaculate afterwards. Top notch company!

The owner, Steven Wall was professional from beginning to end. He responded quickly to my call, he provided a detailed explanation of the work to be done and a fair estimate, and he assured me he would be on the job with the crew. He and the crew arrived promptly, did the work efficiently, neatly, and ahead of schedule, and took great pains not to disrupt anything inside or on the outside of the house. The system they provided me all works together seamlessly. Excellent communication, trustworthiness, attention to detail and a quality job. I would highly recommend them.

This contractor responded to my request immediately. He understood the need for quick service . I was impressed by his skill and leadership. He stayed on the job the entire time; communicated to me the plan for the day. They did an excellent job dealing with water in the basement and with the right plan have mitigated the problem. I would recommend them to anyone search for a skilled contractor! They are top of the line!

Curt was professional, timely and great to work with on my job. He took the time to explain every detail of the process and was true to his estimate. The worked outside my house and you wouldn't have know they even did anything as they put the mulch back exactly the way it was before the job. OUTSTANDING, you can't go wrong with Curt and his team!

Very professional, courteous and informative. All my questions were answered, the work progressed as rapidly as possible, considering the many snow storms, and the basement is dry for the first time in years. I would recommend Real Dry to anyone who needs this service.
