Value Dry

We have been dealing with an improperly installed sump pump system for the five years we have been in our house ... experienced one ""flood"" of 3-4"" of water and decided ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH ! That is when I contacted VALUE DRY ... best decision I could have made. Contacted Value Dry ... had an initial conversation about my basement water issues and scheduled an estimate date. They arrived a few days later, provided a clear estimate and explained the options. I had a good feeling so scheduled them to do the job. Here is what I got : * 1/2 HP Sump Pump * Battery Back-up * Discharge PVC Piping (to replace my flex-tube) * Underground PVC outside * Bubbler-Pot The work was done professionally. The pump is faster and much quieter than what we had. The Battery back-up gives us peace-of-mind. The bubbler-pot set-up keeps the yard looking less cluttered (and I no longer have to worry about my crappy flex-tube freezing in the winter). Overall, excellent set-up. No comparison to what we were living with prior to their work. We appreciate the Honesty, Quality and Professionalism we experienced using VALUE DRY ! more

Our basement is quite large - approximately 2,000 square feet with approximately 1,500 square feet of finished living space that was completed in 2006. During the late summer of 2011, we had back to back tropical storms begining with Irene that left thousands of homes with flooding and mold issues, including our house! Although we only had about 1/4"" of water in most places, it was enough to ruin our carpet and get into the walls of our basement. At this point, we knew we had to seek professional help to assess what was needed. We contacted 3 Waterproofing companies in the area, including ValueDry. The other 2 companies were regional or local firms. Al Dark was our ValueDry sales person for the job and he was very professional, courteous and thorough in his assessment of what was needed to permanently fix our water issues. Our primary problem was ground water coming up from the foundation and an poorly installed, non-functioning drainage pipe and sump pump system. We were impressed with ValueDry's approach to solving our problem as well as their Warranty, which is a life-time, transferrable Warranty. While ValueDry's price was higher than the local firms we looked at, we felt their national experience, number of years in business and satisfied customers spoke volumes about what we could expect from them as our basement waterproofing contractor. We also knew we really needed the warranty for when we eventually sell our house, so that we can give the new homeowners peace of mind that they will not have any water issues. The other companies only provided a 10 year warranty for their service.Our job started on-time, as scheduled. The foreman for the job was named Brian (sorry, I can't recall his last name). Brian was amazing! He knew what he was doing and he, along with his team, did some seriously strenuous work jackhammering our floor, bringing concrete, damaged drywall and studs out of the basement and carrying fresh concrete back into the basement. The area they had to jackhammer was approximately 175 linear feet - it was a BIG job! Also, they had to cut all of our drywall and studs at 30"" above the floor so that they could get their equipment into the area of concrete that needed to be removed for the french drain installation. In addition, we have a large granite bar area with cabinets and a finished bathroom that all needed to be disassembled and removed - another significant hurdle for us to tackle so that ValueDry could get to the perimeter floor area. They installed a new sump pump well & system, enhanced an existing sump pump to add another pump in the well and installed a french drain around the perimeter of the basement. To be honest, basement Waterproofing is a messy job - tons of dust and debris. Yet, Brian and his team did a great job controlling the amount of dust as well as kept their work area clean at the end of each work day. One additional cost that was incurred and not originally planned for, was an exterior buried drain pipe that ran from our backyard, around the side of the house and to the front lawn. Brian determined that the pipe that was installed by our landscaper was not sufficient for draining the volume of water we typically experience in a heavy storm - nor was it properly installed to allow for drainage beyond our property. The entire side of our house was very wet and marshy. Brian designed a new drainage system that involved a buried leach field at the end of the drainage pipe to allow for the water to run off and disperse much better. Again, we hadn't planned for this additional cost but Brian did the right thing by bringing this to our attention and helping solve the problem for us! more

I had value dry come repair a leak in my basement. They came for a free estimate- very easy to schedule and very prompt. They were very professional and thorough. They went through and explained everything to me. The work was easy to schedule and they took their time to explain as they worked and did a very good job with the repair. They also offer a great warranty on their product. I highly recommend them!! They also went the extra mile to make sure the rest of my apartment was not covered in dust by the jack-hammering. more

Vdry Basement did an amazing job waterproofing and finishing our cellar. We immediately felt comfortable with the sales person and they had done thousands of basements all over the state including Philadelphia, Palmerton, Boyertown, Pennsburg, Chester PA, Lansford, Hatboro, Jackson PA, Kulpsville, King of Prussia, Reading and tons of other areas. I took a few quotes, VDry won hands down and had the most experience. My basement's water tight and finished. more

We had an off campus property that developed some mold issues after the huricane in Sept. Value Dry came in and got the job done! They were clean, polite, and on time. They explained every step of the remediation, and how long it would take. They got the job done in 3 days, with no hidden costs. more

They were a great service to work with on our problem. Setting up an appointment was quick and easy, and the person who came out was able to give us a quick and helpful solution. (We needed a French drain installed inside a room in our house to eliminate a water problem). The price was a bit lower than some other estimates we received but the friendlly and pleasant staff helped make our choice easy. The work was scheduled within one week, and they even arrived earlier than expected on the day. Total time was less than I figured and work was completed exactly as planned, even with a bump or two along the way. Our room is now dry and clean and ready for whatever we decide to put in there. Definitely a great company to hire, I'm very glad we did. more

The crawlspace in our basement had been flooding our basement every time it would rain for almost two years before we finally figured out what the problem was. When we received the quote from Value Dry, we thought their price was a little high, but they seemed very professional and thoroughly explained their waterproofing process. They installed a sump pump in our crawlspace, dug a trench and waterproofed the wall, and got rid of all of our moldy contents in the basement. Several heavy rains later our basement is still dry! I would definitely recommend Value Dry for waterproofing. more

Salesman, office staff and installation crew were professional & prompt.\r \r It took a full day longer but that was the only set back.\r \r system works great! more

Service was great. Perfect solution to fix my basement water problems. The salesman knew his business and offered an affordable solution that is working great.\r more

Value Dey representatives were helpful and honest with us, after working with another company prior to them we were extremely happy to do business with Value Dry. The sales rep, receptionists and the construction team were all cooperative and willing to give explanations and details about the job when asked. I would recommend this company to others as well as use there services again in the future if necessary. more

When our basement flooded in Lansdale, I was overwhelmed. The representative explained whet was happening and how they could correct it. The crew came out and installed a french drain, a sump pump and sprayed the mold witha mold killer. It took 2 days of hard work, but the crew was fast and efficient. My basement is like new again. I definately recommend this company. more

For the last several years we have experienced leaking in our basement during wet weather. After trying several other temporary options we finally contacted Value Dry. The rep was very informative and took the time to explain why we were getting water and how they could fix the issues. I had a few other estimates and each came looked around for less then a minute and gave me a paper with a price. Value Dry was the only one who took time to explain the process. They were able to schedule us quickly and the crew that came worked very professionally. They were clean and worked in a very timely manner. After they left you would not have even known they were even here. The true test was Hurrican Irene came through about 2 weeks after having our new french drain system installed...not one drop of water in the basement! This is true peace of mind. more

Like many others, recently had a water problem occur from all the rain, including remnants of Irene. I called on several companies and ultimately chose Value Dry. They had a crew out in a matter of days. They were very professional, answered all my questions and really took the time to address my concerns. It was a finished basement and they needed to work around many personal items and electronics and they took extra care to keep from damaging anything. System works great, no more water even after heavy rains since the install. My basement is now dry. more

My basement would always become wet after a heavy rain. I was afraid that the walls were becoming damaged and my home would suffer from the amount of water that would appear. I called Value Dry after doing research on the web. When I mentioned to my best friend that I had contacted a business to take care of my basement problem - before I could tell him the name of the company, he said he had a problem with his basement and called Value Dry, and that they were great.\r \r Needless to say, that was good enough for me. They came in, worked for 2 1/2 days, kept my house clean (by putting up protective plastic), were courteous, very professional, did everything they promised, gave me a lifetime guarantee as well as value for my money, and fixed my problem. I now have a basement I enjoy and have recommended Value Dry to others. They were, as my friend said, ""great.""\r more

I read alot of good Value Dry reviews and consumer reports before I hired them. I researched a ton of basement waterproofing contractors and decided on Value Dry as the most experienced and best products. Value Dry Basement Waterproofing was the only company with a A Rating with the Better Business Bureau and National Consumer Protection Bureau. I certainly have no Value Dry complaints for my review. They did exactly what they said and now my home's value has increased by 30% and it's almost twice the size. I'm glad I did my research before picking a company because I've read alot of negative reviews about other basement contractors. Not one complaint about Value Dry from me. My wife and I are extremely happy! more

This spring my basement flooded out again and I had to solve the problem as I wanted to have it finished. Value Dry cleaned up the basement's water problems by repairing my foundation walls and floors as well as installating a french drain system. A sump pump installation wasn't going to cut it for sure. Once the leaks were gone they remodeled my basement with a really cool basement finishing system. I'd have to say I was quite impressed and I have no complaints with the customer service or finished product. That's a rare thing! Best basement drainage contractors in Pennsylvania in my book. more

Value Dry Basement Waterproofing & Basement Remodeling was a pleasure to do business with. The sales people listened well and addressed our concerns for our flooded basement. I'd have to say they're the best basement waterproofing company in the Philadelphia area. ValueDry installed a perimeter drainage system and did some foundation repairs as we had some cracks. The other basement waterproofing companies just wanted to install a sump pump which we thought was a good idea...but with a perimeter drainage system, we'll never have to worry about having a wet, leaky basement ever again. I'd recommend Value Dry Basement Waterproofing and Remodeling to anyone in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PA): Allentown, Drexel Hill PA, Green Hills, Ridley PA, Lower Merion PA, Haverford, Gladwyne PA, Fox Chapel, Sewickley Heights PA, Edgeworth, Thornburg PA, Rosslyn Farms, Upper Makefield PA, Rose Valley, Haysville PA, Solebury PA, Chadds Ford, Yardley PA, Pocopson, Chesterbrook PA, Birmingham, Bradford Woods PA and any other city or town in Pennsylvania where Value Dry Basement Waterproofing goes. Lastly, I had VDry do a complete basement remodeling job for me as well. That's the most imporant part. It would have cost me a ton of money to put on an addition of the same size. Now I've got a finished basement for an office / play room / home theater. Value Dry is on the top of my list for home improvement contractors in PA.
