They were fine. The workers did an okay job. There was nothing earthshattering or remarkable about the job.

The company was wonderful all around. From setting the appointment to installation they were easy to work with. The men that did the work explained the entire process us step by step. They were very respectful to us and our house. No mess was left behind. They did a great job.

We made an appointment for the crew to arrive but we were never told the appointment was for the afternoon and not the morning., so we took the entire day off of work when we could have only taken the afternoon. By noon and there was no phone call and no show, we were very concerned. When I called at noon, I was told the service was a 2 1/2 hour job and could easily be done in an afternoon. I was also told to expect a call 1 hour prior to arrival. By 2 pm, I was annoyed and called to question the arrival. I told BDry that this service could NOT be rescheduled and they had to come today. I received a call from the crew foreman at 2:30 to inform me that they ran into problems at the first call and would be at that home for another 3 hours. I told him they had to come today, so I expected to see them at 5:30. He hesitantly agreed. At 5:30, I called to find out where the crew was and I received a call back at 6 pm from the foreman telling me they were just leaving Dundalk (the other side of town) and would be there as soon as they could in rush hour traffic. When the crew arrived at 7 PM they began working ... jackhammering and such. Luckily my neighbors didn't complain! At 11 PM, they stopped working and said they needed to return the next morning at 8:00 am. So then someone else in my home had to take yet another day off of work to accommodate them. My frustration does not lie with the crew, as they were the best part of this experience. they were professional and courteous. My issue lies with Bill, our Salesman, who gave us his number and said "call me day or night." Well when we called him it went straight to a voicemail that was completely full. And yes I tried ....day and night! So if a salesman gives you his number, try calling that number before he leaves your home and before you sign a contract! I'm also frustrated at the mismanagement of the scheduling and operations of the crews. If you have an a second appointment and the crew runs into problems you do not wait until the hour they are supposed to arrive to say they will be another 3 hours on the first job. It is unacceptable! If you want my money, you must respect my time!

Day one went fantastic. Butch and Brad arrived on time and went straight to work doing all of the jack hammering and other prep work for the installers. They were both very proactive in identifying potential issues with things they weren't even working on as well as keeping us posted throughout the day with what they were doing and what we should expect. They were great.
Day two was ok. Had a new Crew with Corey as the lead and he did a decent job of answering my questions. The crew was removing all of the concrete and installing the drains and sump pump, so it was a fairly labor filled day.
Day three was the exact opposite of what we experienced on day one. Corey was the lead again and it was clear that the new crew that day wanted to go home. They were very rushed and a lot of sloppy work was done. There was no walk through of what we should do now, how to operate the sump pump/Blue Canyon....just packed up and left. When the Blue Canyon was installed, we were never informed that a large pipe would be sticking out of our floor, nor that it would be as loud as it is. The attitude of the gentlemen installing it was like "oh well." They eventually moved the pipe away from the wall, but they weren't happy about it. Upon further inspection, there was a lot of sloppy work. All of the finishing work was very poorly done. ie: concrete work had divots in the floor, could see daylight around the pipes going out of the house, concrete was rough and not smooth, Blue Canyon pipe outside wasn't fastened to the house properly. It just looked bad! After three weeks, everything was addressed and fixed. It was just unfortunate that it was required.
Overall, I think the sump pump is fine. It's only been a few weeks since its been installed. We are, however, very disappointed with the Blue Canyon system. It is fairly loud and you really can't turn it off. Plus, there is a pipe sticking out of my floor that is pretty ugly. Had I known that was necessary, we would not have gotten it. If their entire team could be made up of Butch, Brad, and Mike (one of the guys who came out to fix the sloppy work) this would have been a completely different experience.

"While it sounds like you were happy with part of your B-Dry experience, we're sorry you weren't 100% satisfied with your whole experience. We will dig into this further and see if there is anything more that we can learn from this. Thank you very much for leaving us this feedback!"

B-Dry Waterproofing sent Keith Miller to be my inspector. He was prompt, helpful, and very thorough with his suggestions and estimate. Due to the simplicity of the problem, I appreciate his do-it-yourself solution and low cost estimate if my initial work wasn't successful.
I'll definitely be calling B-Dry again if I have further waterproofing needs.

The installers were great. The salesperson was great. The person in the finance off was rude, unprofessional, and pushy.
