Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing solutions prevent water intrusion using advanced techniques tailored to residential and commercial properties. We address cracks, seepage, and flooding risks to protect structural integrity. Services include interior drainage systems, sealants, and exterior grading to ensure long-term dryness.
Foundation Repair
We repair brick, block, and poured concrete foundations with methods designed for each material. Our team identifies root causes like settling or water damage and implements solutions such as underpinning or wall anchors. Repairs enhance stability and prevent future structural issues.
Egress Window Installation
Egress windows meet safety codes for emergency exits in finished basements while adding natural light. We install durable, code-compliant windows with secure wells and ladders. This service improves safety, aesthetics, and property value.
Crawl Space Services
We seal crawl spaces against moisture, mold, pests, and odors using vapor barriers and encapsulation. Services include insulation, drainage solutions, and structural reinforcement to create clean, usable storage areas and improve indoor air quality.

Report
Dry Otter was prompt responding to initial evaluation or our issue. Price was very good for our service and repair. The techs were clean, courteous and professional. After repairs were complete they cleaned up mess from work. I would highly recommend them. The repairs worked and we are dry and worry free now. Thank you!

Went above and beyond to schedule us quickly and performed the work in a day with little disruption to others working on our project. And most importantly, so far the basement has stayed bone dry.

Report
We have lived in our house for 11 years 10 of those years we rented and the land lord wouldn't do anything about our damp and wet basement. In July we bought the place and had dry otter do tile and floor system. We could not be happier with the job they did. The guys were professional and hard working. Price was competitive and well worth having done. Before it was just a mess and we didn't go down there much. Now it's are new winter play ground. Many thanks to Mike and his crew for doubling the size of our small home.
