Drycrete Waterproofing

Drycrete Waterproofing is a Walpole company that homeowners call for one specific problem — water getting into a basement — and the fixes described across hundreds of reviews are the standard toolkit: sump pumps, French drains, interior drainage systems, and sealing cracks in old foundations. The volume here is unusual: nearly 700 Google reviews and another 17 on Angi, both averaging five stars, with the same story repeating from crew to crew and year to year. What stands out isn't just the star count but a recurring pattern of homeowners testing the work and reporting back. A review from October 2025 describes a basement waterproofing job that held up through two full days of heavy rain a week after installation, with "not one drop of water" inside; in a 2023 review, a customer recounts roughly 1,000 gallons of water pumped out in a single day during a heavy rain-and-snow stretch, with the basement staying completely dry. A 2025 review also describes a crew tackling a 100-year-old Victorian's damp, moldy basement over five days, stripping old walls, cleaning, and repointing before the drainage work went in. A second theme is restraint on the sales side: several reviewers call out being told what did NOT need doing — one says the company "didn't lie to me about what needed to be done," another that they were never pushed toward the most expensive option. Crews are named individually and repeatedly across the years — Gian, Max, Evelier Jimenez Rosario, Jason, Alex Lopes, Kory — suggesting the consistency holds across multiple teams, not just one standout technician. There are two things worth knowing before calling. Massachusetts' registry shows the company's home improvement contractor license (153300) as expired — worth asking about directly. And it isn't a spotless history: a 2024 review describes being scheduled for a consultation, made to wait two months, then told the technician didn't want to drive out and to just text photos instead, with a promised quote that never arrived. A 2026 review, otherwise positive, also flagged not being warned enough about dust during the work. For basement water problems specifically — this is squarely their business, not a side offering — the volume and consistency of what's on record are hard to match locally, but it's worth confirming license status and getting firm scheduling commitments in writing.
