We had The Drying Co. install a french drain in our basement. The crew was professional and cleaned up (as much as they could) every day before they left. The Drying Co. team was solution oriented and made sure our experience was a positive one. I have already suggested them to my friends.

The Drying Co.'s reply

Allan, thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and for recommending us to your friends. We will be sure to share your lovely comments with the team that worked at your home. Please let us know if there is ever anything else we can do to help.

My crawl space was a disaster. There was no protection from the moisture under the house and serious issues with rodents being able to get into my home. I called The drying company and received excellant service. My crawl space has been taken care of and I haven't had any rodent visiters! Thanks to the Drying co.

The Drying Co.'s reply

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this lovely review Marie. We're so glad we were able to help you with your crawl space and rodent concerns. Please let us know if there is ever anything else we can do to help.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The Drying Co. Offers Free inspections & estimates to homeowners.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will schedule you an appointment with one of our Home Performance Advisors to discuss your concerns and goals with you, do a thorough inspection of your home, review their findings, provide you with an estimate and answer any questions you may have. We do not believe in high-pressure sales and allow as much or as little time as you may need to review your project and answer your questions. From there, it is completely up to the homeowner if they would like to move forward with the work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our Team has a wide range of certifications and experience in the construction and home performance industry that contributes to their expertise in the field. As authorized dealers, all of our Home Performance Advisors are trained at the Dr. Energy Saver and Basement Systems facilities in Seymour, CT. They are educated on the latest best practices in building science and home performance solutions so that they can provide homeowners with long-term solutions to their concerns.
