Ben is honest as they come and very knowledgeable. My basement was leaking and I had health concerns regarding it. The first two places tried to sell me a huge job to dig trenches all along the perimeter and put drains it. Ben immediately told me that wasn't the source of the issue. It was rod holes and a crack in the walls that was letting some moisture in. I had to convince him to quote me a larger job, which he did do (just to be safe) and he was still the cheapest quote from the bunch. I chose him not because of the price (although he was the cheapest) but because he was the most knowledgeable and was not trying to sell me up. To the contrary he was talking me out of the job. It took longer then expected but I'm not upset about that since they seemed to have done a thorough job and were very attentive when I pointed out areas I wanted addressed. I would recommend them to anyone needing their basement waterproofed. read more

They live up to their name sake. The operation is smooth and timely from end-to-end. This is the second time I have used their services. The first time was five years ago in one area of my basement with groundwater leaking in (heavy snow-melt). Since they did their job, that part of my basement is dry as a bone. This year, a different area of my basement had the same issue, and they applied the same kind of solution. Their entire crew is professional and polite. They show up ON TIME and do good work. They are very careful to control the dust and prevent making a huge mess, and they do a very good job of cleaning up after the job. My wife has concrete dust allergies, and even she hasn't complained! I definitely recommend this firm! read more

I asked the estimate since my basement leaks. The guy advised me a few possible problems causing a leak which is not related to their job. He never tried to sell unnecessary products. He is very honest and professional. I will definitely ask the job if l have another problem and refer to my friends if needed. Thank you. read more

Ben and his team with Jorge really did this widow a solid, repairing 5 cracks and quite a few holes in my basement in North Canton yesterday, and for a reasonable price. I appreciate this so much as this was the one thing my husband had hoped to handle before he died, worrying I would not know how to take care of it properly. What a great referral from my brother-in-law Reynaldo and my sister Kim from Belleville. Thank you for relieving the stress and not trying to take advantage, which was clearly the case with about 2 other quotes in the greater Plymouth/Canton/Westland area. I appreciated the friendly and hardworking demeanor of all your team, and how quickly you expertly took care of the business. And your guarantee, which sets my heart at ease. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. "Do not cheat a widow or an orphan..." Exodus 22:22 read more

I used Affordable Dry Basement in 2008. They were fast and efficient and priced better than the competition. We have had no water in our basement since their visit and without hesitation I would recommend them again. read more

They sprayed urethane all over my ceiling, my wall, my bar, and my power tools. I've contacted them several times and haven't heard anything back. It's like they want nothing to do with me since they got their money read more

See all

This company fixed my cracks in my basement and was affordable. They have a lifetime warranty for the new home owners as well. Great job!! Thank you and very professional!! read more

Very professional, affordable and reliable . I recommend calling them if you have any water damage issue. Been in business for long time.

Update: Two months later and some more heavy rainfalls and no water where they did the work!

Called in the morning, set up appointment for 3:00 pm. Nobody called or showed up, and when I tried calling them the mailbox was full so I couldn't leave a message. Very disappointing as I waited around all day for nothing. read more

The absolute worst. After nearly 3 years basement is still having water issues. Company did not show up for a warranty appointment today and the owner had the nerve to yell and hang up on me for trying to find out if they were coming or not. Affordable? Maybe. Good workmanship and decent customer service? Not at all!!! read more

The team came out yesterday to install my interior drain tile system. They finished as planned today. They were professional and diligent. After getting multiple quotes, I would definitely recommend Affordable Dry Basement. The owner, Ben, came to my home to give the estimate. Ben seemed very knowledgable and experienced and he didn't waste time with a lengthy presentation. Connie was pleasant and helpful over the phone making my appointment. The team they sent to complete the work was great. I am glad I went with Affordable Dry Basement after hearing different presentations and learning about interior drain tile systems. They even give a lifetime warranty. When comparing companies, they had everything all of the other companies had plus a competitive quote. read more

Affordable Dry Basement is one of the very rare honest basement repair companies. Most of them are incompetent or dishonest, or both. They don't try to sell you something, they try to see what is needed to improve things. With decades of building experience, I have always been impressed with Affordable Dry Basement and could feel comfortable giving their names to people who requested a name from me to help with wet basements or basement wall structural issues. read more

They did a nice job for me. Installed a window well drain which was a tough job and fixed a leak in the basement wall. They arrived on time (three people) and did the work with minimal mess. so far, one month, no problems. I am quite satisfied with their work. read more

I've had a relationship with Affordable Dry Basement since I purchased my Ann Arbor home in 2002. I hired them after my "due diligence" in searching for contractors to fix a crack in my basement wall, as well as leaky rod holes around the perimeter of the basement walls. They were the most professional and - yes, affordable - contractor that I interviewed. Their work was perfect and guaranteed for LIFE! 10 or 15 years later I put that lifetime guarantee to the test and contacted them about the crack starting to leak. They had a diagram of my basement, knew exactly what I was talking about, confirmed over the phone that the work would be under warranty, and sent a technician immediately. No hassle, no paperwork, no charge - just a smile and a reassurance that that's what their guarantee is all about! Quite frankly, I was stunned! That was an awesome experience! Just recently I phoned them again for a new crack that appeared in my basement wall. They quoted a price over the phone, set an appoint, & emailed appointment reminders. I could have set my watch by the timely arrival of their technician. New crack repaired, invoice and guarantee emailed - easy! After several weeks I was concerned when the crack wasn't completely dried and I contacted ADB about it, emailing photos and asking for their thoughts. They responded by confirming an appointment at my preferred time (based on their last repair), sent email reminders, and the technician arrived promptly and got to work. I apologized that he needed to come out again. With a smile he reassured me that's what their guarantee is all about! He retreated the entire (large) crack again, cleaned up perfectly and was on his way...no paperwork, no hassle. I can't say enough good things about this company. It's such a pleasure to do business with this contractor who is fairly priced, professional, courteous, responsive, prompt and - most importantly - honors their LIFETIME guarantee! If you need any repair work in your basement, do yourself a favor and call Affordable Dry Basement first! read more

The Manager that owns the business is very rude he performed the estimate on my house prior to me buying it because there was leaking in the basement and the work was to be completed by sellers. They replaced the interior drain tiles but apparently that was not the issue because water is still leaking in my basement. So I called them and Ben ,I believe his name was the crew worker,was extremely nice acknowledged that they missed this issue and it was an easy fix but he had to run it by the manager. So I made several appointments with the manager that didn't show up or even call to cancel the first two times. When he came he was very rude to me from the time he walked in to the house telling me it was from mulching and the ground level which I didn't understand because nothing had changed from when he did his estimate I just moved in and didn't do any mulching. Then he tells me you are not understanding what I'm saying and I'm am going to walk away and says "when you go to a doctor you don't tell the doctor what's hurting you don't just say your sick" WTF so he was basically telling me I needed to tell him the the professional where the leak was coming from. Then he drove off and left. I called the company back and the lady I complained to said that he was the owner of the company and needs to retire she said he has been hard to work with lately. They give you this waterproofing guarantee that means nothing because nothing has been done. Very disappointed about this unprofessional behavior. read more
