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 !
