PROTECTING MIDWEST HOMES WITH HONESTY, QUALITY & CARE SINCE 1975
For nearly 50 years Dry Basement® has helped homeowners across Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa stop foundation damage, water intrusion, and structural instability. What began as a local team committed to doing the job right has grown into one of the Midwest’s most trusted names in foundation repair and basement waterproofing. And through all the years, we are still family-focused, still committed to your peace of mind.
OUR STORY FROM ONE LOCAL TEAM TO A TRUSTED MIDWEST LEADER
Dry Basement® was founded in 1975 with a simple promise: provide honest, engineered solutions for foundation and waterproofing problems. Our reputation spread through referrals, not sales pitches. Homeowners appreciated that we treated every project like our own home, with care, clear communication, and workmanship that lasts.
Innovation followed experience. Over the decades, we developed and refined systems designed for permanent stabilization and water control in Midwest conditions, including:
HouseHolder® Anchor System and HouseHolder® I/O Bracing System for bowing or leaning walls
HouseHolder® Pier System for lifting and stabilizing settling foundations
FloorHolder® System for floor and beam support
No Water System® Waterproofing and Dual Pump Pack® Sump Pump System for reliable drainage and backup protection
WallShield® and WindowDrain® to manage wall moisture and window well drainage
DryShield® Crawl Space Liner and Aprilaire® Filtration System for healthier crawl spaces
Through every evolution, one thing hasn’t changed: we do the work the right way, the first time.

We’re not a national chain. We’re a Midwest company with decades of experience in local soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and storm patterns. Our inspectors and installers live where you live. We take time to:
Explain what’s causing the problem
Recommend the right fix, not a “quick fix”
Install with care and clean up like it’s our own home
Hired Dry Basement to poly jack level my driveway. They showed up on time and did an exceptional job. Being an older driveway I was concerned, but the end result was exactly what I requested - and on budget. Would recommend them for any foundation, basement, or driveway work.

My husband and I are currently in the process of purchasing a home. Following the inspection, we discovered issues with the crawl space. The next day, I contacted Curtis Jr. and he arrived promptly within 20 minutes, providing me with a comprehensive quote. Highly recommended!

Curtis came out today to help me with a warranty transfer inspection for a home I recently bought. He carefully explained my system and how it worked, and gave me some advice on what I could do to keep things running smoothly. I feel confident that I'll receive great service in the future if it's needed.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional customer service I received from dry basement and their team. Their dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction did not go unnoticed, and I wanted to extend my warmest thanks.
From the moment I reached dry basement I was impressed by the professionalism, courtesy, and efficiency of their customer service team. Their prompt and helpful responses to my inquiries made a significant difference in my overall experience as a customer.
I would like to highlight a specific instance that stood out to me (e.g. resolving a complex problem, providing additional work needed). Their expertise and commitment to going the extra mile truly made a difference.
