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.

In today's business environment it's so rare to find a reputable company that stands behind their installations. Dry Otter is the real deal! I had a problem with a crawlspace dehumidifier they installed years ago. Dry Otter sent a tech out the same day, diagnosed the problem and ordered the new part . Three days later they came back and installed a new control board, covered under warranty. Their tech Daniel Soto even called the following day to make sure everything was working to my satisfaction. Mike Enloe2025-04-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with Curtis, Adam, Devon , and the install crew ( William, Josh , and Luis) of Dry Ottter ! Everything was on the up n up . Answered all questions clearly . Highly recommend this company and install crew for all water issues in unwanted areas of your basement.
