Real Dry Waterproofing is a family-owned basement and foundation waterproofing company serving Massachusetts, northern Connecticut, Rhode Island and southern New Hampshire, self-reported in business since 1982 and co-owned by Steve Wall and Curt Guenther. Google reviewers from 2021 through 2026 consistently describe Steve and the crew as honest and professional, including accounts of the owner declining work he didn't think was needed and saving customers money. Reviews describe French drain installs, sump pump installations and foundation crack repairs completed on schedule with clean work. One 2023 review described a rude and dismissive estimate visit, an outlier against an otherwise strongly positive record.

Steve and his team are fantastic. Great communication, fair / honest / transparent pricing, excellent work, completed early. I can't say enough good things about my experience working with them!
Couldn't have asked for a better experience after finding water in my basement. Steve responded promptly and scheduled a visit. He suggested that we install a sump pump and basin. We scheduled the work to be done the following week. They arrived on time and his crew worked fast and clean.
It’s been about a year and several rain storms and high ground water events since Steve and his crew worked in our basement. Our basement had flowing water during heavy rains and areas where water seeped through the cracked concrete and pooled. Real dry Jack hammered and installed new French drain sections as well as uncovered and replaced sections of the existing french drain that didn’t even connect to the main section. Their work has stood up to the tests and our basement is actually usable now! He stayed within his quote, his crew was polite and respectful, and they left the site looking tidier than they found it. Would highly recommend this company!
I called with water issues in my basement and the gentleman was very professional, honest and helpful. I highly recommend this company.
I called Steve this morning with water in the basement. He was extremely honest and told me he didn't think I needed his services. He figured out the problem quickly and saved me from going down a costly road. This is an extremely honest person who does not want to take people's money for work they don't need. 10 Stars and I owe him a dinner.
