Every employee was respectful and competent. From the guys who bid the job, to the ones who did the hard work, to the after completion details, each employee did their job well. I was appreciative of their awareness for the safety of my house when they left for supplies or for lunch.

In 2017, the water table under our house increased. Our finished basement flooded. I contacted several places, most were unresponsive or had a big sales pitches but couldn't get to it for months. Then Absolutely Dry Basement and Waterproofing called back. They told me what needed to be done and I said go. They put in new drain tile throughout the basement and a sump pump. The price was reasonable. I waited for big rains before posting this review. We had several this year and my basement is absolutely dry. Outstanding company.

Basement contactor put in a series of drainage ditches, PVC pipe for the downspouts, repaired, rotted boards, and added a, tar-like substance to seal all the crevices should water get past the drainage ditches. It was an excellent plan/execution and I fully expect to have a dry basement for the life of my home.

Job appears to be well done. The installer didn't always honor the agreed upon schedule.

They were professional and cleaned up after themselves very well. They alerted me to any issues they found, and were very nice to deal with.

Kory and his crew were great! They arrived at the scheduled time, and did the necessary repairs. They were professional, courteous and friendly. They explained how they planned to do the repairs. When the repairs were finished, they completely cleaned up their work area.

The immediate contact from company rep through Angie's List went well and they had someone out to give an accurate estimate right away.  This person did a good job of explaining the process and answering our questions.  Because it was the time of the year it was we were able to schedule the work within a few weeks.  We had to put down a 10% deposit which was reasonable.  When it came to the day before the work was to begin we received a call from the owner saying they were experiencing equipment issues and could not make it to our house to begin the work the next day.  On one hand it was good he called, on the other hand we were counting on a 2 day plan.  Due to impending bad winter weather the next day, the work was delayed another day.  The crew did show up as planned on the third day and went right to work.  While the equipment was noisy the crew was very professional.  They had to jack hammer a trench around the entire interior of the foundation and haul several dozen buckets of dirt and sand up the stairs on day one .  They also had to haul several bags of concrete and buckets of rock down the steps on day two.  THIS IS NOT EASY WORK AND THESE GUYS DESERVE A LOT OF MONEY!!!  The crew was friendly and finished up in the two days as expected.  They did end up placing the sump pump pit in a different place than the plan and as was explained to us by the estimator.  I don't think it will end up being a big deal for us, but for others it could be.  The finish work looks good.  They clean up as much after themselves as I could expect.  Now the real test is how it does controlling our water.  It will be tested in the future because we always have water seepage. There is a lifetime guarantee which is transferable.  All in all it was a good experience and I'm glad we had them do it.

We had water pouring in a section of our basement. Let it go for a long time thinking it would cost a fortune and everyone we talked to kept saying we would need a sump pump. We didn't want a sump pump and when Kory came out he said they would dig down around the foundation and seal it. Job was done very quickly and the recent downpours we have had prove that the job was done well because no leaks. Very happy with the work and now I have my basement back again and no more wet vacs in the middle of the night every time it rains.

very courteous and helpful
job was done quickly two corners of my basement garage were drilled and had epoxy injected onto the outside surface
we have not had any bad rain to make sure the job worked
only concern i have now is i'm seeing some water leakage at the base of the wall on the floor, will have to keep an eye on it and wait for a rain storm to see what happens

The major was the weather wasn't cooperating so we had to wait a while.  They're polite when they said they were coming.  They cleaned up the mess and so far everything's good.  They were the most inexpensive compared to the other one's.  They were here right on time.  The man was very honest.

It went very well, and they did a great job.  We were very impressed by the crew.  We were, however, a little disappointed that we didn't receive a follow-up call or visit from the owner, who initially made the arrangements for the work.  Other than that, we are completely satisfied with the sump pump installation.

Young man who came was courteous and seemed quite knowledgeable.  Noted that he had seen many cracks of a similiar nature extending from the window to the floor.  He worked quickly.  My only complaint is he did not clean up the area and made no reference to it.  It was not a major job but required about 20-30 minutes.

The owner, Kory, came and we did a walkthrough of my basement.  We discussed a solution that involved trenching the entire perimeter and installing 2 sump pumps to expel any water.  We also discussed the installation of steel I-beams and waterproofing/guard sheets.  He was clear that the company's solution was for the interior of my house, not the exterior.  After we'd discussed all the work that would be done and how long it'd take, he prepared a written estimate that we reviewed, I gave him a deposit, and we scheduled the jobs.
I discussed all this later with local family members, and we decided it'd be a good idea to check the exterior to see if we could find the CAUSE of the water.  Lo and behold, we found buried downspouts that were leaking underground and repaired what we could at that time.  I called Kory back to discuss the work we'd scheduled, and he returned today.  Since it appears we may have found the issues on the outside, we've decided to wait until spring to see if our fixes work over a bit of time.
So the bottom line is that I didn't have Absolutely Dry do any work.  Yet.  I'll be following up with Kory in March or so and we'll take it from there.  Very honorable guy, too - he even gave me my deposit back.
