Accu Dry Waterproofing & Concrete Crawlspaces

These guys are professionals and pros. We found an old very large crack in our basement foundation that the previous homeowner tried to self fix. They did an amazing job to fix the repair from the previous homeowner and fill the crack. I highly recommend this place!

Accu Dry is aces. They give an accurate quote up front, and do the job quickly and thoroughly. There are more than a few scam artists working in this field; Accu Dry has integrity. One year after they sealed two cracks in our foundation our lower level remains dry even after a number of torrential rains. Thanks, Accu Dry!

This review is for their customer service-​not for their repair people-​most probably their repair people do a very good job. I had an appointment at 1 PM and it was supposed to take them 45 minutes to an hour to give me an estimate. So I reserved 1 to 2:30 (allowing 30 minutes extra) in my calendar. I got a call at noon that the person was on time and he would be at my house between 1 to 2. I told them that i wasn’t aware of a window and I was expecting them around 1 PM or little bit after. I was told that just like the cable companies, they give a window (i wasn’t told about that when I made the appt). The lady was very rude and told me that it looked like i didn’t want to use their service and she would cancel my appt– no apology for not making it clear when i made the appt, no effort to reschedule so that I could reserve 2 hours. Basically she just didn’t want the business. On the other hand, the other company that came to my house for an estimate for the same work-​as soon as he found out that he wouldn’t be at my house around 9:30, he made a phone call, wanted to make sure that it was ok if he was 15 to 20 minutes late and also assured me that he would be done on time. And he did.

I had a very good experience with Accu-​Dry from beginning to end.
We went to the basement during a tornado warning and discovered 2 new foundation cracks that were trickling water. I called Accu-​Dry and left a message, but did not get a call back. I called them again the next week and they apologized professionally and said I was on their list but the storms had them back-​logged on all fronts.
They provided a rough quote for whole wall cracks at ~$ 300 each. That was fine with me, I just wanted to stop the leaking. The technician came out and revised the estimate downwards because one «crack» was something less serious. It took about 2.5−3 hours to complete.
2 months later I can gladly state that my water problem is completely fixed. :) Additionally they offer a transferable lifetime warranty.

We called this company and we were a bit nervous at first because there were some negative Unilocal comments about the owner. However, we had an excellent experience with him. He was responsive, experienced and reasonably priced. He is a hands on owner so he might not be available all day via phone as a salesperson from perma-​seal is (we also called them out), but he always called us back within a reasonable period of time. The owner came out and crawled through our entire 1000 square foot dirt crawl space. He found a water problem that the perma-​seal salesman did not find (he did not crawl through the entire space). Accu-dry’s team of water-​proofing professionals and concrete guys were incredibly professional and worked in two teams so there was never any down time. They got a two day job done in one day. Our dirt crawl space was incredibly uneven and these men evened it out perfectly, added drain tiles, fixed 8 cracks and poured 4 inches of cement. The results of the job are incredible. We have had some thaw out already and so far so good — no leaks. Great job!!! We have recommended this company to our neighbors, family and freinds.

Back on April 18 – 19, 2013, DuPage county was declared a federal disaster area due to flooding. My home was affected. I live in a ranch style home on a concrete slab. Water came into my house and into my entire HVAC duct work that is in my slab. Because of the fear of 1) not getting all the water out of the ducts 2) mold growth… leading to unforeseen health issues in the future or 3) duct work rusting, it was advised that I fill all my duct work with concrete and install a new HVAC system in my attic. Finding a company that could pump a slurry into my ducts (filling all the duct work under my house without tearing apart all my floors) was nearly impossible… Until I found AccuDry. Dave gave me a great quote… Then told me he took off extra money because we were flood victims– without asking! The job was done in six hours, the men that came were professional, took care of my floor/​walls where the ducts were and cleaned up extra spilled cement on the floors. When I had to pay, the workers said they did not have a credit card scanner on location and to call the office. I did and Margaret told me to mail a check or credit card was good too. She even gave me the option of installments if I needed it. Really, truly a great bunch of people that got a job done that I thought would never get done!
