"I tried everything I could think of to keep out the 14" of water I would get in my basement, then I hired another company (shall remain nameless) just to have their system ripped up in 2 and a half short years because they would not honor their warranty. As a last ditch effort before bulldozing my home or filling my basement in with stone and making it a crawl space, I called EverDry of Michiana and to my surprise, the price was very reasonable compared to other companies. I live in an area with a very high water table and keeping water out is a major issue. The install was almost effortless on my part. I had some issues later and was very pleased that EverDry honored their promise to come back out and do what needed to be done (like adding more finger drains) to keep the water table below my floor. I would highly recommend them and gladly write my yearly check to keep my warrantee active. A+ in my gradebook. JLW Lake Village, IN"

"Several years ago we had tree roots that were growing into and blocking our drainage lines beneath our basement floor perimeter. We called EverDry and they promptly sent our a representative who laid out a clear plan with cost. It was during the colder weather and he gave us a better price to keep his men busy. They worked efficiently and dug out around the exterior and tarred the walls. Inside, they broke through the floor around the perimeter to lay new lines and moved the sump pump to a further corner of the basement and neatly covered the old hole. It was a messy job that my wife and I feared would never get cleaned up. How wrong we were. They removed all of the concrete debris and when they were finished, our basement was as clean as it had been before the work started. Remarkable! We have continued our $25 a year to maintain our warranty and have made use of it (with no charge) on several occasions. We made a good deal. G.J. Bowling Green, OH 43402"

"As the representative of Bushnell Apartments, the crew of Jason M, Emmanuel B., Gibran S., and Kyle B. did a remarkable job installing our new drain tile and two sump pumps. They worked efficiently and meticulously in the preparation for the installation. They were very professional, kind, and respectful in completing this project. The foreman, Jason, led his crew in a very well organized manner. Professionalism is the work I would use to describe the work performed by this crew. All debris was cleaned up after the job was completed and Jason showed me the work that had been done. I was very pleased! I will recommend FSM to colleagues and friends.

"The guys that came out to install my egress window were well trained and skilled. They got the job done in less than a day and cleaned up after themselves. The window passed township inspection and it appears as though it will handle water drainage appropriately. The supervisor addressed an issue that arose and resolved it quickly and professionally and to the satisfaction of all parties. I would recommend this company."

"The crawlspace of our house we purchased about a year ago was damp and often had standing water in it. Because the house is near a lake, the water table is very high and water is not uncommon. Unfortunately, all the standing water drove the humidity of the house very high to the 60s and 70s year round!
I contacted Stay Dry to give me an estimate along with another provider. Wayne from Stay Dry provide me with great information about the problem and how it could be solved. The cost of doing this work is not cheap, but the risk of damage to the structure of our home is what convinced me to move forward. In the winter, the window would have a great deal of condensation around them which isn't good for them either. The cost was on par with the other provide I met with, but this solution seemed more complete.
The work took about four days to complete. Stay Dry sent a great crew of five men, led by Spencer, who made residence in the three foot high crawl space for the next four days. First they lined the carpet and walls with protective materials. The entrance to the crawl space was in one of the bedroom, down a hall of white carpeting. Once lined the work began by clearing out all of the fallen insulation and any other random debris from down below. Next all of the wires were cleaned up and tidied up. All the debris had to be carried out in five gallon buckets through the house as there isn't external access to the space.
Next, they dug by hand a 110 feet of trench, lined it with fabric and then stone (stone was carried in a five gallon bucket at a time) and finally the drainage pipe itself. Once that was complete the entire space was lined with and sealed with a heavy duty liner (think swimming pool liner material). The crawlspace was unbelievably clean when they were finished. The liner is white so instead of dark sandy/mud floor, it was white liner. No more rain boots to go down in the space. The sumps were installed and set to drain to the exterior of the house.
The pumps that were installed have a battery back up as well as a system that will text me if there is a problem with the pumps. It also tells me the amount of water that is pumped out of the space each day. I am floored by how much it pumps!
When the work was done in January, it was too cold to do the final part of the job which was to foam the rim joists. The crew came back in April once it warmed up and completed the rest of the work.
Humidity in the house has dropped to the mid-30% range. The crawl space is actually usable for storage and going down there for wiring or mechanical work is a breeze. Once all of the protective materials were removed from the carpet and walls, everything was spotless. Everything was in the exact same shape as before the project.
The crew worked incredibly hard in what are not desirable conditions. The solution did everything I wanted it to do and everything Wayne said it would do. It is not inexpensive, but for the interior of our house and the overall health of our house, it was well worth it.
While I hope I don't have to ever do this project again, I would use Stay Dry again if I did.
