What Our Customers Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 298 reviews Roy Fukata2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second job call from Dry Otter, I had an enclosed extension built over our basement entrance, being an old home with poor grade design, water leakage was rampant. On phase 1, I had the whole works done inside basement, crawl space, drainage, dehumidifier, sump-pump and now for phase 2, I have the tract system put in place. Although it hasn't rained after the tract system placed, I have confidence that my water leakages will be solved.

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.
