Wet Basement Causes
Interior Water Leak
We check for leaks around showers, toilets, sinks, dishwashers and pipes
Improper Grading
The ground should slope away from your house so water drains away from the foundation.
Missing or Faulty Gutters and Downspouts
If they are not correctly installed or are clogged, water will back up.
Foundation Cracks
Cracks are an entry point for water.
Poor or Absent Drain Tile and Sump Pit
The absence of a drainage system or a non-working one can cause issues.
Condensation
Basement condensation transpires when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cooler surfaces of the basement walls and floor, leading to the accumulation of moisture.

How Much does Basement Waterproofing Costs?
Many factors influence the cost of basement repair and waterproofing.
Size of the Basement
The size of the area directly affects the amount of materials needed and hours to complete the project, all influencing the final cost.
Extent of Water Damage
Repairing seeping walls is less expensive than extensive flooding. The degree of water damage affects the cost.
Interior vs. Exterior Solutions
Interior fixes are easier to implement. Exterior repairs sometimes involve the need for an excavator and specialized equipment. Dry Otter technicians only work on interior repairs.
Overall Home Age
The age of your home matters. If your house was built using outdated building codes, you might need to bring it up to code before waterproofing and repairs are done.
Materials Used
The choice of sealant method impacts the total cost of basement repair. Our technicians provide several options so you can compare the pros and cons of each choice.

Vicki Gurley2025-09-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After reading many great reviews, we used Dry Otter to remove mold and mildew from a newly purchased older home. Dry Otter then expertly encapsulated the crawlspace and installed a dehumidifier (Thanks Johnathan, Trey, and Desmond!!) and did the needed structual repairs. Great job!! The dehumidifier monitor now assures us that the crawlspace remains dry. THANK YOU, DRY OTTER! Rick Dunlap2025-09-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The work done by Will and his crew was excellent. I can sit in my crawlspace with a sense of calm as it is so clean. Cheryl Waggener2025-09-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Kimberly Jones2025-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After researching crawl space encapsulation and asking neighbors, I found Dry Otter. I contacted 4 companies and 2 didn’t even respond. Dry Otter came out and presented photos, info on their process & system and a quote on the spot. I appreciate their professionalism and responsiveness and the price was not only the better option but most importantly was a better material used and I like the fact they are independent family-owned. The team that did the work was Noah, Corey, Jam & Tristen. A group of very nice hard working young men. Noah was especially great and easy to work with. They called both days 20 minutes out, communicated during the process and explained everything in detail with instructions, etc. With our house being a new build only a year old, we wanted to make this important investment to protect the support beams and trusses for the long term. I’m looking forward to some energy saving as well. And, no critters or bugs will be especially nice too! I highly recommend Dry Otter! Joey Tirak2025-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My crawlspace needed some attention had pretty high humidity and condensation on duct work. Decided to go with an encapsulation with foam board on walls. Dry otter was great to work with. Will and Josh were the installers and their communication and professionalism was outstanding. The crawl space looks great now and thet explained everything very well. They even checked back in a couple days after the install to make sure the humidity has dropped. highly recommend Dry Otter if you need a crawl space encapsulation
