Our Crawl Space Repair Services
Wet Crawl Space
Water can leak into your crawl space through holes and cracks in your foundation and walls.
Crawl Space Dehumidifier
A dehumidifier is a device that processes the air in your crawl space, removing wet or humid air and replacing it with dry air.
Crawl Space Drainage
Our drainage system will keep your crawl space dry and help reduce structural problems from soil erosion.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
This process involves covering the walls, columns, and floor with heavy plastic to keep water out. We also install a dehumidifier to dry out the space.
Vapor Barrier
A vapor barrier is a layer of plastic installed on the ground to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space from the ground underneath your home.
Wood Joist Repair
Joists are horizontal beams that support the weight of the floor above. They are typically made of wood, spaced 16-24 inches, with the sole purpose of supporting the beams running parallel to them.
Mold Remediation
40-50% of the 1st floor air in your home originates from your crawl space, so if your crawl space has mold, you’re breathing unhealthy, moldy air.
Sump Pump
A sump pump is a device that is installed in the lowest part of your crawl space to remove water that collects in a sump basin. The basin is like a bucket with holes drilled into it. It sits at the end of the French drain lines to remove unwanted water.
Crawl Space Insulation
High humidity can cause condensation and moisture to build up on your insulation. With enough weight, your insulation will droop and eventually fall.
What are the benefits of crawl space repair?
Moisture control and increased air quality are two of the most important benefits of crawl space repair.
Increased energy efficiency also adds value to your home and saves you money in the long run.

What Our Customers Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 291 reviews Jeff S2025-01-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really appreciated the thorough inspection and common sense approach Michael provided. He has a good depth of knowledge from being a Realtor and home inspector. The job at our house ended up being small enough that we are going the do-it-yourself route this time. I would definitely consider Dry Otter Waterproofing if I have a larger project in the future.

I was impressed with the quality of their work. They did everything they said they said they were going to do. Thank you for a job well done. mark leite2024-12-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone at Dry Otter Waterproofing was an absolute pleasure to work with! Tom went out of his way to provide us with everything he found during his inspection, and gave us great advice about what we needed to correct our issue, as well as what we did not need. William, Josh, and Luis arrived on time and completed all of the work in one day. They could not have been more professional, polite, and genuine in providing some of the most thorough and informative customer service that I have ever had the pleasure of receiving. They answered all of our questions completely and we were very happy with the quality of their work! Heather and Carmen were also super helpful scheduling our appointments, and kept us informed every step of the way! Thank you to everyone at Dry Otter!! Adam Benoit2024-12-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a great job and worked around our schedule. Jim Edwards II2024-12-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently chose Dry Otter Waterproofing to fix my basement from leaking. William, Josh, and Luis came out the week of Thanksgiving to start the job which included the flat track system, trench drain, and a sump pump. This took a day and a half install time. Just had two straight days of rain and I am proud to say the system worked as it should. The guys did a good job. I know because I was with them the whole time (they didn't mind). I chose this company for three reasons. First, it is a local company. Second, my opinion the system they use is better than that of which some others use (Flat Track vs Waterguard). Do your research. Waterguard has big holes in track which allows for more debris which will cause clogging vs Flat track with the slits (water only gets in). Third, I knew what I wanted and needed in a system. Marcus was sent out for the consult and was very knowledgeable in that. This company allowed me to negotiate with them to get what I wanted and done just that. The others out there wanted to sell me things that I really didn't need and charge double the price. Adam also came by during the install and gave me better advice for the clean out port locations which I appreciated. Everyone here was a pleasure to work with. Thanks Dry Otter. jack barber2024-12-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can’t recommend Dry Otter highly enough. Michael came out to inspect and quote our crawl space quickly and gave me a price that day. Not only were they cheaper than the other big names I had quote this job, they also included necessary parts like electrical outlets that were not included in the other quotes I received. Chris Qubeck2024-12-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dry Otter has been amazing!!! From the sales rep, to the job scheduler, all the way to the finish with the job site team lead, everyone was great to work with! They did an incredible job from start to finish, and had the attention to detail I would expect from a well run company. Very happy I went with them to have my good-sized crawl space encapsulated. William Oros2024-12-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
