"Very dissatisfied. They tried to take advantage of an 80+ yo by not even completing a repair, produced a false image of a faulty (12 year old) heat exchanger at $99 wanting me to buy a new furnace. Thanks to website weeks of research and using my wood stove, info I was able to clean the condenser trap in 10 minutes and the furnace has been working for weeks, now."

Everdry Waterproofing of Cincinnati has more than 40 years of experience. We are a full service basement waterproofing and foundation repair company. Our unique, safe and 100% effective waterproofing method has been endorsed by authorities across the nation. We were awarded U.S. Patent No. 6,904,723B1. We are approved for work by the Department of Housing Authority (F.H.A) and a number of city and state government agencies. Our most important credentials are referrals from thousands of satisfied customers who have helped to make us the #1 choice in basement waterproofing and foundation repair.

"Everdry came to my home for a consultation, where we discovered a mold issue. We were informed that they would eradicate it, fix the leakage issue, and waterproof the basement. Upon learning this, we accepted their bid on July 28th. We were originally looking at starting the process in October, but they persuaded us to start on September 17th and offered us a lower price to start the process earlier. I felt like they were being pushy, and I was not prepared for them to start that soon. On the day they showed up, I was going to take some time to clear the area myself, but they were being aggressive and told me that they didn't have time for that. I received a call from Cierra asking if her team had started the project or if I had met Malachi (the supervisor). I had not, but they did start the project. Malachi was supposed to walk me through the process, but he never introduced himself to me. On day two, my home health aid witnessed the workers smoking weed on my property. They also destroyed my lawn and did not dispose of their waste. They didn't let me know that they were leaving for the day or anything. On day three, they claimed that they were wrapping up the project. I finally met Malachi, but he still did not formally walk me through the process. He didn't explain anything to me, but he demanded that I sign their paperwork. I refused because I was not satisfied with the job that was done. I asked to speak to his superiors, and he verbally accosted me. When I checked the work myself, I noticed that the leakage issue was not resolved. I spoke to Ted from Everdry, and he admitted that the work they did was subpar. The following day, I spoke with Ted's superiors, and he also sided with me, but they did not offer a reasonable solution. I felt like I was being discriminated against because of my neighborhood. I also feel like they violated me and my property."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Trench drains have a bit of a reputation as being difficult to clean, so if there’s a massive rainstorm that leads to a lot of debris and gunk getting stuck in the drain, you’ll spend extra time cleaning it out. Plus, you definitely need to regularly clean the drain, heavy rainstorms or not, to keep it in good condition, adding an extra step to your cleaning to-do list.

Installing a new sewer line costs between $50 and $250 per linear foot. Most sewer line insulation projects and up costing around $3,500 on average. Just how much your drain line will cost depends on the length of the pipes, the type of piping material, the depth, and any obstacles that may be in the way. For instance, excavating and working around trees or boulders will increase your costs.

While it’s possible to live in a damp basement, it’s usually not healthy to do so. Damp air affects your breathing, and it also promotes mold growth and pest infestation that can make living in a damp basement dangerous. You should plan to resolve any moisture issues and set up preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.

Linear drainage systems are popular for patios thanks to their straightforward installation and reliable performance. Often used along the edges of brick, concrete, or paver patios, these extended, narrow drains effectively capture and channel surface water away. Gully drains come in various shapes and serve a similar purpose by collecting runoff and directing it into the central drainage system to prevent water buildup.

The amount of soil you’ll need around your foundation depends on a variety of factors, but in general, you want a 6-inch decline over the first 10 feet extending out from your foundation. How much soil it will take to achieve that will depend on the current grade of the yard, how much foundation is exposed, and the size of your home.
