Dry Otter is a dependable source for all your crawl space, basement, and foundation repair needs in and around Cornelius.




Basement Waterproofing
If you’re worried about a leaking basement, Dry Otter Cornelius basement waterproofing services are designed to defend your home against potential water damage and costly repairs.
If you notice water on your basement floor, mold, mildew, a musty smell, wet drywall, visible condensation, bowing walls or dampness call Dry Otter for a free inspection.
Excess water creates mold and other harmful bacteria that can cause severe respiratory issues. It can also cause structural damage, compromising the integrity of your home. We offer easy solutions to keep your basement warm and dry.
Crawl Space Repair
Crawl spaces in Cornelius are prone to excess moisture and pest-related problems. Mold and mildew can cause severe health issues, and excess water can damage the structural integrity of your home.
At Dry Otter, we offer comprehensive crawl space repair services, including encapsulation, insulation, crawl space dehumidifiers, crawl space drainage, sump pump installation, vapor barriers, and wood joist repair.
When we repair your crawl space, we target the dirt floor and vents. The dirt floor lets moisture seep under your foundation walls, and vents allow excess water and moisture to form in the crawl space.
By creating a waterproof space and repairing any damage to piers or joists, you can rest assured that your crawl space is in good working order. Schedule your free inspection today.
Basement Repair
Basements often have a variety of problems, especially excess moisture that should never be ignored. At Dry Otter, our Cornelius basement repair services offer a comprehensive solution to all your basement needs.
If you notice water on your basement floor, wet drywall, cracking, a musty smell, visible condensation, mold, mildew, white residue on your walls, bowing walls, or a damp basement, it’s time to schedule a free home inspection.
Our technicians will determine the scope of the problem before your home suffers significant damage. Once we identify the main issues we will compile of list of required repairs to restore your basement to a safe, dry space again.
Foundation Repair
When it comes to foundation repair, Dry Otter has a solid reputation for quality work. We will restore the structural integrity of your foundation by identifying potential problems and offering solutions that will address the issues.
Problem signs like bowing walls, drywall cracks, sticking windows, jamming doors, bouncing floors, wood damage, or damaged piers, are all indications you need foundation repair.
We offer a free home inspection to check out your foundation to identify possible issues and formulate a repair list to quickly resolve the problems.
Our foundation repair uses carbon fiber straps to fortify and stabilize your concrete foundation. They also add strength to your basement walls to counteract cracking, bowing, and shifting. We also offer wood joist repair to fix any damage to piers or joists.
Mold Remediation
Mold is a serious issue because it can destroy the integrity of your home by compromising your wood joists and subfloor. It is also a significant health concern.
Studies show that the basement or crawl space affects 40-50% of the air on the first floor of your home. Mold growth in those areas can cause severe respiratory infections, increased allergies, and asthma.
Dry Otter has a simple solution for mold removal that will improve air quality, maintain the integrity of your floor joists and subfloor, and increase the value of your home.
Our 3-step process removes pollutants, allergens, and dangerous particles from the air. Then, all visible mold is removed, and the area is cleaned.

What Our Customers Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 367 reviews Posted on Dylan CallicuttTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had Dry Otter Waterproofing complete a full crawlspace transformation at my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. Michael, Will, Josh, and Adam were outstanding from start to finish. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They installed a sump pump, dehumidifier, full encapsulation, and several other improvements to protect my home from moisture issues. The crew worked efficiently, kept me informed at every step, and treated my property with great respect. The difference in my crawlspace is incredible — clean, dry, and well-protected. If you’re looking for a reliable and knowledgeable team for waterproofing or crawlspace work, I highly recommend Dry Otter. Michael, Will, Josh, and Adam did an exceptional job, and I’m extremely satisfied with the outcome. Thank you to the whole team and God bless you all.Posted on Lou Ellen TAYLORTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
