Drycrete Waterproofing is a full-service basement waterproofing and foundation repair contractor serving Massachusetts and Rhode Island, self-reporting more than 30 years of experience (no specific founding year given). A customer testimonial identifies "the owner, Jason," though the company states no further ownership detail. It offers French drains, sump pumps, crack repair, basement dig-outs, dehumidifiers and related concrete work, and carries a BBB A+ rating. The review record is large and unusually clean: 530 reviews since 2008 across two platforms, a 5.0-out-of-5 Google average from 692 ratings, and a matching 5.0 on Angi. In the last six months the company logged 29 reviews with none negative. Reviewers repeatedly describe a straightforward estimate process without upselling, and named crew leads — Alex Lopes and Evelier Jimenez Rosario come up often — handling difficult installs (unusual building layouts, ledge in the basement floor, century-old foundations) cleanly and on schedule. Several reviews go further and confirm the work held up: basements that stayed dry through heavy rain and snow events shortly after installation. One fact worth checking directly with the company: its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration is listed as expired in the state registry. Massachusetts requires this registration for most residential remodeling work, so a homeowner should ask Drycrete about the status of their registration and, if it matters for a specific project, confirm current standing before signing a contract. On the review side, the record is nearly spotless — the one clear exception is a March 2024 review describing a two-month wait for a scheduled consultation, after which the technician declined to visit in person and asked for photos to be texted instead, with a quote promised by email days later. That account stands alone against dozens of detailed, recent five-star reviews describing prompt scheduling and thorough on-site consultations. Overall, this is a high-volume, extremely well-reviewed waterproofing contractor with strong evidence of durable, tested work and transparent, no-pressure estimates. The registration status is the one administrative detail worth confirming directly before hiring.
Estimate was easy. Installation relatively quick after the estimate.
I had a great experience with DryCrete. I originally reached out after seeing the extensive work they had done at my neighbor's house. Ken spent time walking me through the different options for addressing water intrusion in my basement, including a sump pump, French drain, and less invasive alternatives. I never felt pressured into one particular solution, and he was very thorough in explaining the pros and cons of each approach. I ultimately decided on a targeted repair to plug a large hole and Gian handled the work. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain exactly what he was doing. The repair involved sealing a hole in the foundation wall where water had been entering, and the work was completed neatly, efficiently, and quickly. From start to finish, the entire process was straightforward, honest, and professional. I would recommend DryCrete and I would use them again for any future issues.
Clean and profesional company! Great to deal with. Rich, who came to the house for a quote on what we wanted, was great and easy to deal with. Didn’t push anything we didn’t want and gave us an honest opinion.
Very professional, workers are prompt and highly skilled in their respective areas. Our installation was unusually difficult due to the building design, but the techs pressed on and got the job done. Three weeks after installation we had a small problem with one of the pumps and there were three technicians on site in less than one hour after my call. Very happy with the installation and service.

Good job! Alex Lopez was very professional and made sure the job was done corectly, properly and in a timely manner. He also suggested a slight alteration to the design which made perfect sense and makes more sense than the original plan due to the pitch of my floor. Thank you guys! Still waiting on Crack repair will update once that is complete.
