I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for any waterproofing needs!
On 10/8/15, their employees showed up with a small excavator to begin the project. He asked me what he was going to do there and I stated he should know already. I then reviewed the work with him and he started and I left for work. Approximately two hours later, I received a phone call from a Bone Dry representative who stated the original estimator needed to meet with me that evening as they had encountered some issues.
I met with him that evening and he stated they had dug about 4 feet down and noticed the wall was not as stable as they had thought. He then stated they would not be performing the work because of safety reasons and returned my deposit. Obviously, this made me very dissatisfied. When I pressed him for reasons his company was backing out on a contract, he again stated safety. Since I have been doing large projects my entire adult career with an expansive knowledge of OSHA, I asked him why they could not make it safe and complete the project for the contracted price. He simply stated they could not but understood why this was frustrating. I asked him to have his boss contact me. That was two business days ago and I have heard nothing from this company.
My Frustration - Bone Dry entered into a contract with me for $6,400 to install a french drain around a 50 year old retaining wall. Their experienced estimator examined the project and provided me a quote. I then waited 2.5 months for the work to begin. Once they began the work, I firmly believe they realized this project would cost them more than the contracted price so they backed out of the deal. I have worked on projects where entire buildings need to be stabilized in order for people to work in them safety. This is not rocket science. Bone Dry could have dug down, installed bracing for the wall, dug further, installed more bracing, etc.. However, they most likely did not account for this when they bid the job. Another point supporting this conclusion is the estimator stated that they ran into some hard dirt that they would have to jackhammer. Again, I don't believe they anticipated this when they bid the project. Rather than act like an honorable company and fulfill their contract, they chose to walk away from the project. I do not ever intend to deal with this company, either personally or professionally. If you choose to deal with this company, look at #13 on their Terms and Conditions. It gives them the right to walk away for any reason. You should have them strike this from your contract. Unfortunately for me and I hold myself completely accountable, I missed this point.
