Is a wet basement a sign of a poorly built home?Not necessarily. A recent study in the Washington, D.C. area found that over 86 percent of cement block constructed homes over 25 years old, had moisture problems. The National Association of Realtors state that, during the life of a home, almost all will experience some form of water problem.
Do you charge homeowners for estimates?No, nor do we feel that you should do business with anyone who does. Homeowners are never charged for the B-DRYŽ consultation. We insist on absolute honesty and integrity. If you don't need our services, we'll be the first to tell you. If you do need our services, we'll tell you precisely what we propose to do, how we do it, when we'll do it, and the exact cost (taken from...
Is your method complicated?No. The logic of our system is simple. To fully appreciate it, however, you need to understand what's causing your basement to leak. Ask questions until you fully understand. Not necessarily. Occasional leakage may be caused by a combination of weather conditions and poor drainage around your house. If you have water in your basement after ordinary precautions, then it's p...
Do you use extensive outside excavation?No! It is not only unnecessary and expensive, but doesn't permanently dry up your basement. B-DRYŽ's patented waterproofing system is installed on the inside. Consequently, we avoid disturbing the soil, landscaping and structures (patio, driveway, etc.) outside your home, and can perform the work year round. No. They're simply not effective. In fact, if your house was buil...
Should I have the outside of my basement walls sealed?No. This work was done when your house was built. It didn't work then and it won't work now. The sealing of basement walls on the outside was never meant to be a permanent solution. We install a "self-flushing" system that works regardless of water tables, slope of terrain, or normal soil conditions. The B-DRYŽ Waterproofing System works whether your problem is leakage fro...
Why can't I just repair the cracks and put liquid sealer on the walls?Because it doesn't work! If this type of easy "solution" worked, very few basements would be wet and we wouldn't be in business. These types of treatments attack the symptoms rather than the causes. Almost every year there are new products on the market to repair cracks and seal basement walls. They cost less but aren't effective. Homeowners spend millions of dollars every...
What about injecting betonite into the soil around our house?It sounds good, but it isn't effective. It doesn't make sense to dig a shallow trench in your yard and bury a pipe that often has no positive discharge points ? and if it does, will quickly clog anyway. You might as well pay to have a log buried in your yard. Also, some companies claim they can prevent this clogging by wrapping filter material around the pipe. This only in...
But they told us it was guaranteed for life! What do you think about this?Almost all waterproofing contractors give a guarantee of some kind...5 years, 20 years, lifetime. Does it really matter? Sadly, the history of waterproofing is filled with those who give a greater guarantee than their system can support. When burdened down with service calls and claims, they simply go out of business. In direct contrast, our warranty is the result of the w...
What do I have to do to get B-DRYŽ down to the lowest price?Nothing! We don't play price games. We use the same printed price list for all customers ? a price list that has been calculated to be fair and consistent for everyone. We encourage you to help our consultant arrive at the price when he or she visits your home. Our promise of pricing integrity is more than just empty words. B-DRYŽ provides you with a permanently dry baseme...
Will your system enhance the value of our home?Positively! if you sell your house, you can offer a clean, dry basement, warranted for the life of the structure, regardless of ownership. Money spent for a permanently dry basement will pay off in an immediate increase in the market value of your home. The large investment in a home dictates that you protect it by waterproofing a wet basement. It also makes sense to utili...
How does B-DRYŽ do business?Our job plan agreement is simple. It describes precisely what we propose to do, including the exact price. The simplicity and trust with which we do business dates back to the company's earliest beginnings, when all business was done on a handshake. We don't require a down payment of any kind on the work to be done. We ask only for a nominal amount to put you on our schedu...
It's ridiculous! You can't really offer a lifetime transferable warranty, can you?We've proven that we can. The proof is in our performance: Our warranty is the result of the permanent effectiveness of our waterproofing system. It sounds like we're bragging. But the B-DRYŽ System is in a class by itself. Over 160,000 basements waterproofed since 1958.
