"Everdry waterproofed my basement 29 years ago. They did the job exactly as promised for the price they quoted. It is still dry and I'm still happy. BC Garrett, IN"
"The basement waterproofing contractors we found in Southwest Michigan were expensive, and even among this group, Foundation Systems is on the pricey side. Everdry was even more expensive. However, Foundation Systems has done good work and have been available and friendly in response to our questions"
"Shortly after I had purchased my home, I had discovered damage done to my foundation. The first contractor I contacted was pushy and wanted me to sign a contract on the spot. I wanted a second opinion and contacted Yoder Home Services. The owner came to my home, did a full inspection of my property and gave a thorough explanation of the work that needed to be done. His quote was $5000 less than the first contractor. The owner and his team were very kind and completed the job as promised. I have noticed a huge improvement of overall air quality in my home since the repairs have been done. I would recommend Yoder Home Services to anyone needing this type of work!"
"They installed a heavy duty sump with battery back-up, drainage around perimeter and center of basement and a dry well in back yard. They also patched cracks in floor. When they were done, they cleaned up everything, and the place was immaculate. I thoroughly recommend them!"
"They are great to work with. Communication was superior. They stand by their work. A few years ago I had waterproofing done in my basement and this time they spray foamed the cavities of the basement too. Both times they did awesome work and cleaned up too! I highly recommend this company!"
"The work was done as scheduled (within weeks of the quote). The installers were courteous and professional. They took extraordinary care to keep the cement dust to a minimum. It has been over a year since the work was done, and I am still very pleased. I have a nice, dry basement."
"They were prompt for both the quote and the work. They identified fixed 3 cracks in the basement. The work was done well (3 rainstorms later and no water in the basement) and the clean up was great. Everyone was very professional."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Flooded basement cleanup can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the extent of water damage, the type of water involved, and the need for repairs or mold remediation. Severe cases with structural damage or extensive mold may require longer timelines. Quick action and professional help can speed up the process and reduce overall damage.
If not properly maintained, an underground downspout may damage your home's foundation. A clogged downspout can back up, causing water to pool around the base of your home and seep into the foundation. Regular inspections and maintenance keep your downspout in good working order, preventing damage and protecting your home.
Unfortunately, mold can grow pretty much anywhere, on any kind of surface. However, you’re most likely to see it in damp areas like basements or bathrooms, as well as anywhere there has been a water leak. Consult a local mold specialist to determine if certain areas of your home are prone to mold based on climate and other factors.
When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:
Pros
Can increase the value of your home
Separate space from the rest of the house
Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style
Increase the amount of living space in your home
Cons
May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing
Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level
Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage
Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly
It is better to have a crawl space that is tailored to the outside temperature, your needs, and the season. For example, it is much better to have a vented space when it’s very hot outside and your AC bills are sky-high. Conversely, when the temperature drops and humidity rises, it is almost always better to have your vents shut and covered if possible.
