ABOUT DRY BASEMENT®

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.

HOW WE WERE FOUNDED

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.

  Aaron did quality job identifying and replacing our backup sump pump. His explanation as to why we should replace the backup pump were easy to understand and helped us make an informed decision whether to replace the pump now or later. He was respectful of our home, wearing shoe covers when in the house.

  Water used to seep through every time it rained. Dry Basement installed their perimeter drainage system and a new sump pump in just two days. We just went through a massive storm and the basement is completely bone-dry. Highly recommend

  Alex and Aaron came out today for annual maintenance, and they did an exceptional job. We've had the system for several years, and we've always done the annual checks, which I would strongly encourage anyone to do. $130 a year is not cheap, but it is worth the peace of mind. Alex also explained everything they were looking at, why they were doing each task, and how this could help improve the life of the system. Foundation repairs and sump pump installation are costly, so prioritizing the annual maintenance is very important to protect that investment.

  I had a great experience with Dry Basement Foundation. I recently had them do work on my foundation, and they did a great job from start to finish. Curtis was especially helpful throughout the process and was always willing to answer my questions and make sure everything was taken care of. I’d definitely recommend Dry Basement Foundation to anyone needing foundation work. Great company and great people to work with!

  Hi, Alex and Aaron came today to see why the pump wasn't working properly.  They diagnosed the problem quickly, repaired one pump and gave me some options on replacing another pump.  They had the pump with them that I needed and replaced it quickly and checked everything out.  Your employees are respectful, efficient, don't leave a mess and solved problems quickly.  Thank you Dry Basement!
