Phenomenal! Value…read moreDry was a referral from another small local company whom I implicitly trust. Markus, their VP, came out to give us a proposal and quote. We then got proposals from two other local companies. Though Value Dry was not the lowest quote, we felt by far the most comfortable using them. And we are very glad we did. Our entire basement, which is entirely below grade, has (had!) water seepage due to hydrostatic pressure (water is forced into the house from underground), especially this last year with all of the rain we've had. And we have a huge basement. Markus proposed a new french drain around the entire interior perimeter of our basement, all of the exterior walls: 210 linear feet in total (we have a big basement). He explained in-depth what they proposed to do and why and how. They also added a second sump pump for us. And a battery back-up pump. They sent a crew of just three guys. Roger was the foreman, and you just have to love that guy. Great personality and he calmly and politely answered every question I had (I'm a detail freak). They were fantastic. They kept everything as clean as possible (not completely, but you can only do so much for concrete dust from jackhammers). Their work was very detail-oriented. It was cool seeing the destruction followed by the construction, laying down the new PVC underground drainage pipes, the new concrete on top of it, etc. Roger and I had discussions throughout the week about how best to do several things, like where and how to place the clean-outs (we have two) for the pipes. Bottom line: Look no further. They are honest. Not too expensive. And they deliver exactly what they say they will. Also, just a few weeks after completing our basement they did a smaller job for my in-laws, also local. They were just as happy with their work and with both Markus and Roger and his crew as we were. So this is really two 5 star reviews in one!

ONE STAR -- HOMEOWNERS SHOULD THINK VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE HIRING VALUE DRY…read more My experience with Value Dry Waterproofing was one of the most disappointing and disturbing contractor experiences I have ever had. Based on what happened at my home, I would never hire this company again, would never recommend them to family or friends, and believe the public deserves to know how my project was handled before trusting Value Dry with their home, foundation, structural work, or money. I hired Value Dry for approximately $12,000 of foundation, masonry, sill/bearing, debris-removal, and structural-support work associated with getting my house properly back onto its foundation. I paid Value Dry $8,000 in two separate $4,000 payments. The work was not completed. What happened afterward is what I consider deeply unethical, unprofessional, and morally unacceptable business conduct. During the project, Value Dry performed demolition and foundation-related work. I complained at the time that substantially more masonry had been broken out than I had requested. After this work had already been performed, I was then told that another $1,500 would be required to restore openings. I repeatedly explained that I had never approved this unexpected charge in advance and asked Value Dry to provide a written breakdown explaining exactly what supposedly was not included in the original $12,000 agreement. Even more troubling, Value Dry later acknowledged that its own representative had failed to obtain the required signed change order before the disputed work was performed. Think about that from a homeowner's perspective. Your house is already torn apart. Masonry has already been removed. The work has already been performed. Then you are told that additional money is needed to restore what has been opened up. In my opinion, that is an outrageous way to put a homeowner in an extremely vulnerable bargaining position. The unfinished work was not some insignificant cosmetic punch-list work. A subsequent written agreement addressed two permanent Lally columns, removal of existing block columns and debris, restoration of twelve openings, and disposal of concrete debris. Value Dry then scheduled its crew to return on July 21, 2026, to continue the remaining work. Value Dry was also actively coordinating with Wolfe House Movers during this project. Value Dry specifically advised me that they were scheduled with Wolfe. I also repeatedly raised concerns about properly sealing and protecting the sill assembly against moisture before the house was lowered. Detailed instructions concerning the sill plates, sealing, moisture barriers, and related protection were communicated to Value Dry and acknowledged. I asked Value Dry to remove debris from inside and outside the basement and level affected dirt areas. Value Dry did not respond that this was somebody else's responsibility. They told me they could not do it that day but would do it the following week. I also notified Value Dry in writing and with photographs that a masonry support area surrounding a temporary wood post appeared broken and compromised. I specifically requested immediate professional evaluation and stabilization because I was concerned about the structural safety of my home. Then came what I consider the most outrageous part of this entire experience. After agreeing to remaining work and after scheduling its crew to return, Value Dry President James A. Ketterer sent me written notice on July 17 that Value Dry would perform no additional work at my home and would not return for the scheduled July 21 appointment. Value Dry stated that it would not seek any additional payments from me and that it considered the money already received adequate compensation for the work it had completed. Read that carefully. They did not say that all of the agreed work had been completed. They said, in substance, that the money they had already received was adequate compensation for the work they had completed, and then announced that they would perform no additional work. In my opinion, that is absolutely astonishing. A contractor should not be able to accept thousands of dollars, become deeply involved in a major structural project, leave agreed-upon work unfinished, schedule a return date to continue that work, and then simply announce that the company is no longer comfortable performing additional work. Imagine if homeowners conducted themselves that way. Imagine a homeowner signing a contract, allowing a contractor to perform thousands of dollars of work, and then halfway through simply announcing, "I don't feel comfortable paying you anymore." Value Dry certainly would not consider that acceptable. Contractual responsibility and professional integrity should work both ways. What makes this even more frustrating is that I was actively attempting to resolve the dispute. I proposed putting the disputed money into neutral escrow so that Value Dry could be assured the money

My review of 58 Foundations on our basement dig-out project…read more Please be advised that 58 Foundations appears to operate in violation of home improvement regulations in the District of Columbia. Their contracts are legally deficient, as they omit both the salesperson's license number and the project commencement date. Furthermore, the District of Columbia Licensing Board (DCLP) was unable to locate a license for our specific salesperson or any other individual at the firm. It seems they don't have a licensed DC salesperson. Following a ten-month delay, the company proposed a change order that would double the initial project cost. This increase is a direct result of the original salesperson's lack of expertise and professional neglect. Additionally, the company proposed a solution that is illegal under DC regulations, and their internal communication remains highly disorganized. Under District of Columbia law, performing home improvement sales without a proper license or executing contracts without commencement dates and salesperson license numbers may entitle clients to a full refund of the contract price, regardless of work completion. I recommend that any parties engaged with this company review their legal standing regarding these practices. Please be cautious if you decide to challenge this company. Their management called and threatened us claiming that we will run out of money before they do.

Basement Waterproofing Nationwide, BWN, is one of those rare companies that does excellent work…read morethat stands the test of time and also honors their commitments decades after making them. Treasure their quality and their work ethics! 20+ years ago BWN waterproofed the basement of my then new house. Despite having a property on high ground, water has a way of getting in and flooding and unprotected basement. BWM installed French drains, along with a sump pump and emergency backup battery system. It kept my now finished basement safe and dry for over 20 years!!! Recently, however, there were heavy rains and a drainage pipe leading to the sump pump failed and a small portion of my basement was flooded. More carpet damage than anything else thankfully. I took videos of the leak the next heavy rain and contacted BWN. Despite 20+ years having gone by, they were still in business and stood by their Lifetime basement guarantee. They came back and not only fixed the issue with the one pipe, they preventatively applied the same fix to a similar second pipe, just in case!!! Cost to me, ZERO!!! You have to look long and hard for a company that has such a long time in the business and dutifully honors it's commitments to its customers. Thank you Basement Waterproofing Nationwide!! You have kept my home dry over these many years and continue to do so!!!!
