They are great!!
Tyler Rags
I cannot recommend this team highly enough. After years of dealing with a damp, musty basement and dreading every heavy rainstorm, I finally have total peace of mind. From the initial consultation, it was clear that they weren't just trying to sell me a quick fix. They took the time to perform a comprehensive inspection, identifying the specific hydrostatic pressure issues and foundation cracks that were causing our leaks. The project manager explained the entire process—from the interior drainage system to the sump pump installation—in a way that was easy to understand.

My home was built in 1912 and the basement had a lot of issues! Three different companies came out to give me an estimate. Dry Duck was the most reasonably priced to address all of the issues in my basement. Eric was friendly, professional, and honest about everything I had questions about. Everyone was respectful of my home while repairs were being done to the basement. Thanks again Dry Duck!

Risks of waiting or cutting corners
Every Month You Wait Costs More to Fix
Skipping waterproofing or hiring someone who cuts corners can lead to:
- Recurring leaks and water damage that get worse over time
- Mold and mildew that affect your family's health and air quality
- Foundation cracks and structural issues that cost far more to fix later
- Wasted money on band-aid fixes or contractors who don't stand behind their work
Common questions
What to Know Before You Waterproof
How much does basement waterproofing cost?
Cost depends on the size of your basement and whether we use interior systems, exterior waterproofing, or both. We give free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what you're investing in.
How long does basement waterproofing take?
Most projects are done in 1-3 days. Interior work is usually faster; exterior work may take a bit longer. We'll give you a timeline when we provide your estimate.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. All our basement waterproofing work comes with a warranty. The exact terms depend on the system we install and are spelled out in your contract.
What's the difference between interior and exterior basement waterproofing?
Interior waterproofing uses drainage and sealants inside your basement to manage water. Exterior waterproofing is done outside the foundation (often with excavation) to stop water before it gets in. We'll recommend the right approach, or both, for your situation.
Will basement waterproofing fix all moisture issues?
It addresses the main sources of water. We also look at things like grading and gutters and will tell you if anything else needs attention so you get a complete solution.
