Ron's range of experience in the waterproofing industry spans almost three decades. A Dayton resident since 1991, the Cleveland native began his foray into waterproofing and concrete in 1996. As a laborer, Ron quickly learned the ins and outs of the waterproofing business, including new construction waterproofing systems and concrete structural repair options available to stabilize home foundations. Ron expanded his knowledge to commercial high-rise buildings, eventually overseeing large crews building hotels in Columbus and other major cities throughout the tri-state area. Ron "hits on all cylinders." Not only does he know everything about the waterproofing and concrete processes, but he also understands each facet of running a business. From laborer to production manager to VP of operations, Ron has done it all. He is also personable and reliable, traits highly valued by his customers. Ron's consummate professionalism has earned the trust of many local REALTORS, engineers, homeowners, and property management companies. Ron and Jennifer, his wife of 26 years, have strong roots in the community. Three of their four grown sons live in Miamisburg. The couple enjoys spending quality time with their granddaughter and four grandsons. When Ron can be pulled away from work (his first love), he can often be found camping or fishing on summer weekends. He's also an avid league bowler. He is quick to point out, however, that he is always available to answer a call about a leaky basement!
"We had concrete sidewalk replaced and a new concrete pad added. The work is great and we are very pleased. We would recommend them."

EverDry of Cincinnati is a full service basement waterproofing and foundation repair company. Our patented multi-step system is chosen by the vast majority of out customers.
"It would be zero if I could. DO NOT let them sell you on the WARRANTY aspect of their service! Not only have we had a few major issues over the 20 + years we have been customers but we currently have an actively flooding basement and I cannot for the life of me get someone out for service in a timely manner. They have "scheduled" us for an appointment that is months away. Meanwhile, it continues to rain and snow, water pouring into my basement. I've had to use and dump a large wet vac hours on end to try and contain it. Which tells me, either their system is so ineffective that multiple people are having the same issue so they don't have any appointments available or they simply prioritize new installs over emergencies. I've had my basement finished, had to rip everything out several years ago due to the system. I'm a seamstress and my work room is in the basement. Expensive machines. So much property destroyed and the time lost working is costing me thousands."

"Good luck getting him to call you back. I had a house built and the builder used him for the plumbing install. I tried getting him to come do a service and he never called me back. Had another company come in and told me a couple of things had been installed improperly. I tried getting Dobson to correct it because he's the one that installed it wrong but he refuses to answer the phone or call me back. Do yourself a favor and call a reputable plumber instead."

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Foundation repairs cost about $5,000, on average. Typically, prices range from $2,200 to $7,800, depending on the type and extent of repairs needed. Cost factors include foundation type, home size, soil stability, accessibility, and the ultimate cause of the problem and what methods and materials are required to fix it.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
