# B-Dry

**Trade:** Waterproofing / Foundation · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 2.5/5** (low confidence) — from 1 reviews across 4 sources.

## The honest read

B-Dry is a long-running North Billerica basement waterproofing company — Better Business Bureau lists it as accredited, A+ graded, and in business 45 years, offering the full range of waterproofing work: French drains, sump pumps, crack repairs, vapor barriers, and carbon fiber wall reinforcement.

On Porch, the company shows a strong 4.86-star average across 151 reviews, though none of those individual reviews are captured here to check against.

Two things are worth checking directly before hiring. The one detailed review on file, posted to Better Business Bureau, describes a consistently poor attitude from every employee the customer dealt with — from the salesperson to the owner — on a basement drain system job; the customer says they proceeded anyway because of the company's local reputation. Separately, a 2025 Reddit thread in r/Maine simply asks whether B-Dry Systems is going out of business, without a clear answer captured here — worth confirming directly that the company is still actively operating and standing behind its work before signing a contract.

Given the strong platform ratings sit alongside these two open questions, call ahead, ask directly about the company's current status, and get references from a completed job in the last year or two before committing to a waterproofing project.

**Strengths:**
- Long-established — BBB lists 45 years in business
- Strong platform rating — 4.86 stars from 151 Porch reviews

**Concerns:**
- Poor attitude reported — a BBB review described unfriendly staff throughout a job
- Operating status unclear — a 2025 Reddit thread asked if the company was closing

**Where sources disagree:**
- Strong platform ratings (BBB A+, 4.86 stars on Porch) sit alongside a negative detailed review and an unanswered question about the company's ongoing operating status

## Recent reviews

- **Better Business Bureau · Syed A**: We hired a company to install a basement drain system, but encountered a consistent poor attitude from all their employees, from salesperson to owner. Despite concerns, we proceeded due to their local reputation, expecting competent, safe, and legal work.
