“Need to give a huge thank you to Steve Wall and his crew. It is not often that a company today does exactly what they say they will and actually more.

“A friend recommended
Steve, I called at noon – and he was at my home at 3 pm. He looked at my water issue; told me exactly what he was going to do and he gave an excellent price. We were told he was booked 3 weeks out – we wanted this company we were happy to wait. A week later things got worse, I reached out and we were put immediately on the schedule.

Steve showed up on the scheduled day, on time, and got it done. I came home 4 hours later – water gone! We have been dry since.

“Unless you experience water, you have no idea what dry means! They worked under crappy circumstances: No bulkhead, and having to go through my front door. When they left everything was exactly as they found it.

“I highly recommend this company. I feel confident I will never have an issue again with water. Thank you so much!”

“This fall, 2021, after heavy rains from remnants of hurricanes that had passed through the area, I found nearly 6 inches of water in my normally dry basement. I immediately called numerous companies who advertise basement water remediation, just about everyone my online search could find. Only Real Dry Waterproofing quickly returned my call. 

“Within 48 hours,
Steve Wall came to my house and surveyed the issue first-hand. He was in a position, as I was frantic at the time, that he could have told me that I needed to do extensive, and expensive, work to fix the issue, but he did not. Rather, he suggested that I try a less expensive and less invasive remediation option. At that moment he earned my trust.

Steve and his team were working on my problem within 3 weeks of my signing an agreement with him. I should note that one of his competitors, when they finally returned my call, told me that it would take them 3 months before they could even visit my house to quote the job. Steve and his team did the job very professionally and quickly. And they thoroughly cleaned up when the job was complete.

“I highly recommend
Real Dry Waterproofing for anyone who needs a sump pump or other wet basement remediation work.”

“I have a basement that I recently finished off. Last year I had a water coming in and soaking the rugs, from around my hatchway, I believed. I had the hatchway raised up sealed up and put a new patio in the backyard that was draining the water away. I figured that was it. But I was wrong, I had some more water after it got finished. Same as it was before the new patio was put in.

“I called up
Real Dry Waterproofing company to take a look. Steve and his assistant came out and looked at it and said it looks as though there's a drip coming from one of your gutters that might be causing the problem. He said take your hose, run it same area as where the gutter was dripping, and see what happens. I did this and I ran it for over an hour and a half and it leaked exactly where I thought it was going to.

“The reason I'm saying this is to say how valuable
Steve's advice was and that he could have talked me into a really expensive job. He is a straightforward man and works for a great company. I recommend them highly.”

“Forty years ago, we had installed french drains in the basement of our raised ranch which sits on ledge – but all the rain and hurricanes this year overwhelmed the system. Steve responded quickly and knowledgeably, replacing a malfunctioning sump pump and extending the drain for additional capacity. He is clearly a subject matter expert and also fair, responsive, and professional. I'd recommend him to others without reservation.”

“I was dealing with water issues in my basement from the recent heavy rains of this summer and the early summers from recent years. I finally was tired of the ongoing damage and self cleaning.

“Although I received multiple estimates, it was the obvious honesty that made the decision to use
Real Dry Waterproofing easy. Steve explained similar extensive work possibilities, but took the time to truly analyze what could be best for my problem and the integrity of my home. Not only was the repair process fully explained, they explained unexpected hurdles that arose so that I was aware of the professional decisions being made to fully fix the problem.

“In the end, the work was clean, thorough, and exactly what was explained. They immediately followed up to ensure the system was working and that all repairs were as they should be. I even received a personal visit to check on the system due to heavier rains that were ‘flooding’ the area – I never gave the weather or my basement a thought as the system had already been working perfectly.

“Based on the whole experience, I am confident that their work has solved my problem for years to come, and absolutely would recommend them to any friends or family.”

Real Dry Waterproofing did a phenomenal job in my basement.

“Two previous homeowners cut corners and just put in sump pumps without drains around the foundation so the job had never been done right. Visually we knew there were things in the way and the guys found even more things as they went. They dealt with a leaking pipe from a shut-off valve that wouldn’t shut off, a gas line, and more.

“They got the job done on time despite the challenges and the results are great. Now instead of leaking when we get heavy rains everything is dry and the water goes outside where it belongs instead of into the basement sink in violation of housing codes. I’m grateful to have the job done RIGHT.

“Thanks again!”

“We can't thank you enough. I sent an email on your site on a Sunday afternoon about needing a new sump pump system. Within 20 minutes I received a call from Steve who set up a time to come over on Tuesday. He looked over our situation, designed a system, gave us a quote and said he would call next week. Steve and his team came the next week and did an amazing job. Very professional and explained everything. I would recommend them to anyone. So happy with our new system.”

“I called Steve for an opinion/estimate on Friday, July 2nd for standing water in one of my condo complex's basements. Steve came out on Saturday, we discussed options and plans and he quoted me a price. The Board gave him the go-ahead that day and Steve and his crew did the work on Wednesday, July 7th so that it could be done before the new owners moved in! 

Steve is so knowledgeable and professional; his crew courteous and on task. I can't thank Real Dry enough for making quick work of a long-irritating problem. His kindness and understanding of the homeowner's situation really spoke volumes, and the work was completed efficiently exactly as planned. I would not hesitate to hire Real Dry again for our basement needs, and thank you so much for working with us on this project!”

“We live in a 140-year old house on a hill with an underground stream running down our side of it. Our unfinished basement was chronically wet. When we decided it was time to improve the situation, we called a number of different contractors. We were immediately impressed with Steve Wall, who called us back right away, was sincerely interested in our problem, explained exactly what he would do to fix it, and gave us a very reasonable estimate. He and his crew installed a second sump pump and a drain efficiently and neatly and things were much improved. Then last month our older sump pump started pumping water back INTO the basement, and we woke up to a two-inch flood. Of course we called Steve right away. We called on a weekend; he came out the next day to take a look. Within the next few days, Steve and his crew had removed the water, installed a new sump and extended the drain, gotten rid of moldy wood and drywall, and vastly improved the plumbing arrangement. Remember, this was a 140-year old house. All this at a very reasonable price. AND he followed up a number of times by phone to make sure there was no water in the basement.

Steve and his whole crew were most responsive, pleasant, and considerate. When you have large men in boots clumping in and out of your kitchen to get to your basement, it helps immeasurably if they're really nice!”

"We had 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. Steve provided a detailed estimate and was very helpful and honest with us in considering ALL of our options, even comparing solutions from other companies without relying on hard-sell tactics. After deciding to use Real Dry, we were pleased with how prompt and professional the crew was. Steve was onsite both days to oversee the installation. The work itself was of high quality and workmanship. Furthermore, the team thoroughly cleaned up all debris after the job was complete. We are very pleased with the finished product as well as the fact that there were no surprises or hidden costs. It has been a year and our basement is still dry. I highly recommend this company and would definitely hire them again."

“My wife and I purchased our first home last year but only recently began to have water issues in the basement. The ground water was seeping in through cracks in the foundation and filling the floor with pools of water. Having a young daughter, we knew we couldn't devote hours to vacuuming up water every time it rained -- and for days after, as more water gradually seeped in. So we approached Real Dry Waterproofing to see what our options were.

Steve visited our home and gave us his opinion on what solution would work best for the space. He was open and honest, and explained the whole process. We asked him to do the job, and it was scheduled and completed very quickly. He even stopped by on the weekend to check out the space and ensure it was ready to go for the installation the following Monday. It was less than a week from our initial outreach to the completion of the job. He and his crew installed the French drains and sump pump over the course of two days, and it started working right away to remove groundwater from below the foundation. 

Steve was great to work with, and was very accommodating of some last-minute changes to the plan that we had proposed. He and his crew left the basement looking great and, most importantly, dry! We would recommend Real Dry Waterproofing to anyone having water issues in their basement.”

“After having flooding in our basement for months we looked for a waterproofing company, and called Real Dry Waterproofing. Steve Wall came to our house and assessed the situation and was very clear about what was needed to fix our problem. He answered all of our questions, and was very polite. When the workmen came, they were extremely hardworking, and by the end of the first day we had no more water leaking into our basement – which was something Steve had told us on our consultation. After they finished the job, where they were quick, diligent, competent, and sure, they cleaned everything up, and left. The difference was, there was no longer any water, and they even offered to carry some of the heavier objects that were water-logged out of the basement for us, which was genuinely kind of them.

“In addition,
Steve called us a few days after the work was completed to make sure that everything was fine, and that there was no evidence of water in the basement. He wanted us to know that their work is guaranteed; if anything goes wrong, they are available to come out and fix the problem”

"We have lived with a sump pump in our home for over 30 years. The pump was efficient at keeping our basement dry most of the time but during heavy rains we would get seepage and puddles in several areas. In addition, our basement was always damp and musty smelling.

"A friend of ours had used
Real Dry to correct their 'dry basement system' installed by another company and spoke very highly of the people from Real Dry and the work done for them.

"In September of 2011 we contacted
Real Dry for an estimate for correcting our wet basement problem. Steve Wall came to our home and told us what they would do along with an estimate of the cost of the project. He took the time to explain in detail what the project would entail and answered all of our questions.

"
Real Dry installed the system in our basement in October of 2011. It took a day and a half to complete and the cost was on target with the estimate that had been given to us by Steve. Upon completion of the job, the crew did an excellent job cleaning up the basement.

"
Real Dry had to come out twice to "tweak" their system to deal with issues that were particular with our basement and drainage issues. They came out to make the necessary adjustments immediately and we have not had any issues since. Our basement has now been completely dry for over a year and the damp, musty smell is gone. About four months following the installation, I received a phone call from Steve Wall. He called to check if the system was working to our satisfaction. When was the last time you heard of any company doing that?

"Our total experience with
Real Dry Waterproofing has been nothing but positive from beginning to end. If you have a wet or damp basement like we did, I would recommend that you consider contacting Real Dry Waterproofing."

"My name is Janet, and 'the real dry guys' at Real Dry Basement fixed my chronic basement water problem in my home in Amherst. A friend gave me Steve's name and number with a strong recommendation for quality work at a competitive price. I called three companies, who all came out and gave me estimates. One of the estimates involved tearing up my entire yard and had a ridiculous price tag attached. Steve's quote was competitive and the work was all inside – new drain and sump pump. I hired Real Dry Basement to do the job. They were done in 2 days – very professional, and the basement has been bone-dry since. That was almost 3 years ago. I have since hired them to do gutter work, and I would absolutely recommend them for their quality, professionalism and reasonable rates."

"When you need the service of home repair professionals, you should have three conditions met. One, the person who assesses your problem and estimates the repair cost should also be the person (or part of the crew) that does the repair. Two, the repair professional should actually do what has been promised. Three, the repair professional should have the expertise and skill to handle any unforeseen problems that may arise.
 
"
Steve and Curt satisfied all three conditions at our Springfield home, but it is not enough to simply use the word 'satisfied'. Steve and Curt showed themselves to be thoroughly honest, forthright, expert at what they do, and deeply skilled at solving hidden problems. (On this latter point: we had some real beauties.) We cannot overstate how good these guys are. You can't find any better anywhere."

"With all the rain this April, I got tired of sucking up the water in my basement with a shop-vac. I had noticed a new crack forming on my basement floor. I knew the water pressure was getting worse! So I broke down and decided it was time to call a sump pump system installer. I saw that Real Dry had excellent reviews so I gave them a call.

Steve had a small opening of time and drove all the way over from East Longmeadow to see my problem. He gave me his ideal solution to correct the issue. Called me back to say he’d be here the next day and that it would take two days to complete. Well, he found after starting the opening for the sump pump that what he originally suggested wouldn’t be needed and took off a very large amount off the price!!! They were quick, neat, organized, polite, and with very professional workmanship. Steve even stopped by 3 days later to see if all was well and if I was happy. Very happy indeed!!!”

"I used to 'love the sound of rain'. But when I got water in my basement, the sound and sight of rain did not make me happy. Then I had Steve Wall from Real Dry Basement Waterproofing come to my home to give me an estimate for a sump pump and drainage system. Steve was on time, very professional and answered all my questions. Believe me I had a lot of questions for him!

"I hired
Real Dry Basement Waterproofing in September of 2011. His crew came to my home and installed the sump pump and drainage system. The crew was very hard working and pleasant and Steve would drop by and oversee the work. They also did a wonderful job cleaning up when the work was done.

"Every time that sump pump comes on it is 'music to my ears' and it beats the sound of a wet and dry vac! I would not hesitate to use

“I was getting a lot of water in my basement whenever it rained heavily at first. Then I started having problems when it rained moderately. I used a shop vac to solve my problems until I realized that my basement flooded whenever I couldn’t get home in time. I had been doing that for three years until recently when I started looking for someone to install a sump pump. I contacted Real Dry Waterproofing and made an appointment, thinking I was going to speak with a salesman. Steve, the actual installer arrived and we talked. He asked a ton of questions while we were in the basement. As we walked the property, he noticed the drain hoses from my air conditioners were dripping alongside the foundation. He asked more questions and I could tell he was passionate about his work and what won me over was he suggested that I run the a/c drain water away from the foundation. He said that even if I didn’t hire him, to please divert the water from the foundation. He said it would eliminate some of my flooding problems.

“Wow! Who does that? Giving free advice in his line of work! I hired him and his crew and boy what a great job they did! The pump is running as I type this testimonial. I had no idea that I had so much water running under my foundation. The dehumidifier which has been running steadily into a five gallon bucket shuts off and stays off for quite a while whereas it never shut off before the installation. What a great job those guys did! And the cleanup as well. I wish I had hired them three years ago. I’m glad I did now and I highly recommend them to anyone with water problems in their basement. At least let
Steve come and speak with you.”

“This past spring, Steve and his crew waterproofed our basement that experienced annual seasonal seepage and occasional seasonal flooding. Steve was friendly, prompt, and professional. His crew were also hard-working and polite. What struck me most was the manner in which Steve supervised the crew. It was obvious they operate on a system of mutual respect and kindness. We were so pleased with the work, that we asked Steve to return to excavate a trench for the exterior pipes (not sure what the technical term would be) from the sump pump. Two of the crew arrived on time and were very sweet to our dogs and one child who had questions for them. They dug the trench by hand, and were so efficient that they were gone before I could return with iced beverages for them. We trust and respect Steve and his crew and would definitely hire them again if the need arises.”

“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 same 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 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 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’re 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’s not a speck of water anywhere!

“After 20 years of a dry basement, we awoke to water in our basement. The water was coming into the house from behind our sump pump. I called Steve and he was there within hours to troubleshoot the problem. A few days later, he and his team came over with the intent to replace our sump pump with a larger one. However, they realized that the issue was the high water in our backyard. They quickly pivoted to installing a french drain, and a few hours later the water was quickly draining. He also replaced the pipe and pump in our sump pump. The price remained the same as the original quote even though the work was more labor intensive than originally anticipated. I appreciate the quick, honest hard work that was done at our house.”

Steve saved me thousands of dollars!!!

“I just purchased my new home and after only living there for 1 week, I discovered puddles of water in my basement, which I thought was somehow coming in after it rained. After having a guy look at my basement and using some fancy tool that said I had lots of water sitting around my foundation and the moisture level was too high, I was told the best solution would be to install a french drain and a sump pump.

“I didn’t want any more water in my new home, so I agreed and put a down payment for the waterproofing job.

“After getting some advice that I really should get a second opinion, I called
Real Dry to see what they had to say. Steve came by the very next day and said it would be crazy to do all that waterproofing when I just moved in and didn’t even know where the water was coming from. He also said that he didn’t see any signs of sustained water damage. He suggested that I wait and try to figure out where the leak was so then a course of action could be proposed and he also said I should definitely get my down payment back.

“I took
Steve’s advice, cancelled my waterproofing job and got my deposit back, which I am SO grateful for because shortly after that, I discovered the water was coming from my main water line being clogged and backing up into my basement utility sink then overflowing onto the floor.

“Thank You
Real Dry for being an honest and trustworthy business! You are the best!”

I called when I was at my wit's end with our garage flooding every time it rained, and Steve and his excavator were at my house less than an hour and a half later to diagnose the problem and clearly explain what needed to be done. The work was completed about two weeks later. (Steve brought before and after pictures afterwards to show us exactly what went into the fix!) Will definitely be recommending Real Dry Waterproofing to friends & neighbors."

“When my house flooded back in the fall of 2020 I was luckily referred to Steve and Real Dry Waterproofing. Steve was able to inform me that the issue was caused by hydrostatic pressure and explained all of the options in order to solve the issue. Previous to my encounter with Steve I had called several plumbers and no one could tell me where the water was coming from. Steve and his crew were quickly able to perform an intensive job of installing a French drain on the inside of the foundation as well as a sump pump system that completely fixed the issue. I can’t say enough about their professionalism and personalism throughout this frustrating time. I highly recommend Real Dry Waterproofing for any situation like mine!”

“I called Real Dry to make an appointment for a free estimate, fully expecting to leave a message, but Steve actually answered the phone. He was with someone, so he said he'd call me right back when he was through, and he did call me right back. He was at my house later that afternoon to survey the problem(s) in the basement and provide an estimate.

Steve thoroughly explained what needed to be done and, while not the lowest estimate I received, it wasn't the highest either. Based in his knowledge of the issue and tactical approach to correct it, I chose to move forward with Steve and Real Dry by Friday of that week. I expected to have to pay 50% down before I could be put on the schedule, but Steve said I could just pay when the job was completed. This is NOT typical when working with contractors, and I appreciated that stance. It saved me the worry of paying half and waiting it out when it was convenient for them.

“I didn't think I'd be put on the schedule for at least a couple weeks, but
Steve and his crew were at my house the following week. He had told me the job would take a couple days, and it took a couple days, start to finish. I was kept informed through every stage of any potential issues that may arise, and none did. Of course, based on experience with other contractors, I immediately thought this would be the reason to charge more than the estimate, but I can happily report that my final payment was slightly UNDER my estimate!

“Lastly, I had recently had shelves built in the basement which were directly above the area where
Steve had to break through the concrete, meaning the shelves needed to come down. My carpenter didn't have time available any time soon to dismantle, so Steve agreed to do this also for a nominal cost, probably slightly less than the carpenter would have charged me. Not only did they do this additional work, they also labeled the parts as they were taken down to be easily reassembled when the job was done. Steve actually texted me a few days later to ensure that I was able to get the carpenter back to put the shelves back up, and I'd be willing to bet if I hadn't, Steve would have found a way to do that also.

Steve and his crew were excellent and I'm happy to report the basement is dry!

“I would highly recommend this company.”

“After this summer’s unprecedented rains, our sump pump system failed and our finished basement took on water. Most basement waterproofing companies we called told us they couldn’t handle our specific issue.

Curt from Real Dry Waterproofing came within a few days of our call, inspected the system and diagnosed the problem quickly. He also explained it in a way that we could easily understand and designed a solution that is much more robust than what had been in place before. The Real Dry Waterproofing team installed a new system with backup, quickly and professionally, and at a reasonable cost.

Real Dry Waterproofing truly is the real deal! My wife and I just purchased a new home and had to put in a new sump pump, bulkhead, stairs and storm door. Curt was extremely thorough and came to the site multiple times to provide accurate estimates and explain everything that would be completed. Curt was extremely responsive and answered any and all questions that I had.

“They sent over a proposal to outline all of the products and showing examples of what the finished product would look like.
Josh and his team arrived on time on the work days, were extremely professional, polite and always made sure to explain what was being done and ensured that the work was done to our standards.

“I hired Real Dry in September after firing a Harwich-based contractor to handle remediation resulting from flooding on / in the basement of my childhood home in Provincetown, MA. The Harwich-based contractor did not have the skillset to complete this job.

Curt delivered a quick response in the work review and the quoting process, and organized his team to perform a 3-to-4 day effort to install an internal perimeter drainage channel system, a sump pump, an exterior dry well and an external door channel, as well as complete floor-to-ceiling wall protection.

Curt and his team of 3 showed up on-time, stayed in town to offset travel issues and started work promptly each day at 8am. This NEVER happens with MOST contractors on Cape Cod. The work took a bit less than 3 days, so there was never an inkling that his team was "milking the job".

Curt came up with an extremely creative approach to the dry well installation that extended distance a bit, but prevented significant demolition of a patio and attached slate / brick walkway. They finished the job in an extremely efficient manner and their clean up afterwards was very thorough. This is a no-nonsense organization, a very good thing.

“I am very pleased with
Real Dry, the leakage / flooding remediation has been very successful (seen in several subsequent rainstorms), and I can now rest easy that my childhood house is sufficiently protected from the elements (I live in the Philadelphia area).

We had a significant amount of water in our cellar from the large amount of rain and no sump pump. Curt installed a drain system along the foundation walls inside. He also installed an underground system with pump discharge and downspout connections. His work was excellent. The team always arrived on time and were very courteous and professional.

“I have nothing but good things to say about Curt Guenther and Real Dry. This was a complicated project that was well-executed for a reasonable fee. I got a few quotes on the project before proceeding and had all kinds of conflicting advice and a lot of concern from the competing contractors on the difficulty and complexity of the work.

“Bear in mind that our crawlspace has four separate interior areas and while the height is reasonable at 3-4 feet, to get between the areas you need to crawl on hands and knees. Getting around, excavating, clearing debris is difficult. The floor is sand and rock, which is hard to level. Anyway, here are the elements of the project:
  • Remove all old fiberglass insulation between the floor joists that are the ‘roof’ of the crawl space, remove all other debris, and rake the floor level.  Note that a lot of large rocks had to be removed which was difficult and back-breaking work.
  • Repair a crack in one of the foundation walls
  • Pour a new reinforced footing under a different wall
  • Seal a square opening in the foundation where a drain pipe passes through the wall below grade
  • Replace several lally columns and install two new lally columns with new footings
  • Seal all the crawlspace vents
  • Install a vapor barrier over the floor and up the walls to just under the sill 
  • Install a commercial dehumidifier
  • Frame and build a new crawlspace entry door to be exceptionally strong and watertight
“None of the other contractors were willing to do everything, so I would have had to break the job into multiple tasks, coordinating between multiple contractors, at greater expense. Curt signed on for the entire project. The work was all completed within a week by a large, competent, hard-working crew. They left no mess on the property. The interior of the crawlspace is now clean and, as promised, dry. All the foundation work is solid and professional. No concerns there at all.

“I installed a remote-sensing hygrometer to keep track of the humidifier. The hygrometer now reads consistently between 50 and 55% humidity, which is perfect for preserving the integrity of the wood structure. I can feel the dryness of the crawl space whenever I go in it.

“This was one of those big, scary projects that’s been on my to-do list for a long time and it's a tremendous relief to have it done, and done so well. As an added and unexpected benefit, our house doesn’t have mice anymore. They used to get in through the crawl space and now they can’t. 

“I highly recommend
Curt and his team for any project involving basements, crawl spaces, or foundations.”

“Our building is a four story 105-year-old red brick with two to three feet of the basement below grade. Moisture had gradually pulverized much of the mortar and damaged bricks in this area. If left to continue, the building’s structural integrity would be compromised. In addition, a large section of our concrete floor was wet year-round.

Curt Guenther of Real Dry reviewed the situation very carefully on his first visit and proposed a simple but effective resolution. When I had questions, he returned to walk me through the proposal.

Real Dry’s crew executed the plan within three days. Not because it was easy, but because they worked hard and varied the size of the crew according to each day’s planned work. They were professional, easy to work with, and answered questions willingly when I would arrive to review the process. When we had what turned out to be a minor problem, the crew manager was there in 30 minutes on a Friday afternoon to review my concern and arrived Monday morning to rectify the situation.”

"It was late December when one of my two existing sump pumps failed and I was left with a very wet basement. In addition, the pump that was working was poorly installed and I had water in other areas in the basement from seepage issues. I called several 'dry' basement companies, but I decided to go with Curt and Real Dry because he took the time to understand what I wanted and he explained in simple terms the work he would do to get us dry. This included the installation of two professional grade sump pumps with full battery back up and curtain drains installed in my basement to prevent the seepage issues. 

"My basement has been very dry since

“About three years ago I started searching for a reputable waterproofing contractor. My home was built partly on rock and about 20% of the basement is ledge. We previously had the ledge capped with cement which I hoped would cure the leaking all along the front where the basement wall meets the ledge. It helped some but we still had leaks every time we had heavy rain. We also had a sump pump left by the previous owner that wasn't installed very well.
  
“After checking several references provided by
Curt Guenther, owner of Real Dry Waterproofing, I decided to hire his firm to correct my problems. I found Curt was very professional in his approach both in diagnosing and working on the problem and very honest in advising what should be done. He did not try to "sell" me any expensive solutions that wouldn't work. The work was done very well, on time and for the price proposed. I also found Curt to be very responsive to any requests for additional help when I found I needed to add additional treatment to several "stubborn" leaks that took a while to get under control.

Real Dry came to our newly purchased home and repaired a major flooding problem that was disguised during our home inspection. Having to cope with this issue was an absolute nightmare.

“This e-mail is about a year and a half overdue, but I just wanted to give your company a huge thumbs up. I really, really appreciate the honesty and advice that was given to me in the summer of 2020 when Curt came to give me an estimate. He looked at my setup (I just had a 5 gallon bucket and a sump pump) and told me that if it was his house, he would start with pulling out the 5 gallon bucket and dig out there and the other spot I had water puddling up and put in two (2) 22" sump basins and pumps and see if that fixed the issue. And if it didn't, please reach out and let you know and we'll figure out the rest from there. 

“The flooding I was experiencing wasn't normally an issue until the winter so now that we've dealt with two winters of frozen grounds and lots of rain over that time, my basement remains as dry as it's ever been which is remarkable. I had hoped for this result for 7 years and I finally have it!  So, I wanted to reach out and thank you for the honesty and advice given, as when you gave it you were passing up a job. I have passed your name on to a few other friends over the past year and will keep doing so in the future. Thank you so much for the help.”
