Ryan was a rock star. Responded quickly, came out to take a look; was thorough and identified the right repair for the situation at hand and didnt try to talk us into things that didnt need to be done. When he arrived, was quick and efficient, tested existing french drains to make sure they were working prior to repair and had all the work done in less than 48 hours. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a personal business touch that can be trusted with good quality work.

Called Ryan to schedule a time for a review and estimate of water issues. He came out the same day in less than an hour. He provided great guidance and honest suggestions to address the situation. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Would not hesitate to call him again.

Im in the process of purchasing a new townhouse and had questions regarding water intrusion given my unit is below grade. Ryan took my call while he was driving and literally pulled over to Google my unit and provide his thoughts. He didnt charge me anything and treated me as if we were friends for years. This kind of service is unprecedented and he now has a customer for life.

I will say so far so good. The serviceman that came out spent time to find the problem and explored different solutions, which is more than other places did. Felt he gave me honest opinion and fair priced solutions. Ive had other contractors look at the same problem and was quoted way more money with little inspection. I had a crack repaired in the foundation they were timely and polite. As long as the repair works the way they say it does, I have no complaints.

I needed to fill foundation cracks before finishing my basement. Ryan provided a quote on the spot and returned quickly to do the work. His work was thorough and professionally done for a fair price. I would definitely recommend this business.

Last year in the late spring we called Forever Dry out they presented a few options and were upfront about which would work best for our set up. It also happened to be the least expensive option. They came out and did the work in a timely manner and were great the whole way through I’ve recommended them over and over to people who need similar work.I waited almost a year to write my review because I wanted to see how it held up against a big spring rain. Last weekend we got about 5 inches of rain in about 24 hours. The street and parts of my yard flooded. Many of my neighbors had furniture and rolls of carpet out on garbage day. But not us. The basement stayed perfectly dry. Thanks again Forever Dry!

Ryan was great to work with and very professional, personable and straight forward. He was extremely fair priced and delivered quality work. After years of battling water in our basement, we finally have peace of mind knowing we’re in good hands. After this past weekend of very heavy rain (may 2020), not a single drop of water in our basement! Thanks, Forever Dry!

I HIGHLY recommend forever waterproofing. They beat all other waterproofing companies out there. They were professional, considerate with time, and no mess after the project was done. Its been years and we have no leaks! Thank you again, we are forever waterproof!

Ryan Lesak from Forever Dry is true professional. He sized up the giant crack in the basement wall of the house we are trying to sell and said he could seal it. And within 48 hours he sealed the leak and took care of the crack. Our worries are over and the house is being shown again. The price was fantastic and the speed and service unmatched. We got a 15-year warranty from Ryan L. and are extremely happy with his professionalism and Forever Dry as a company.

Imagine entering your fully finished basement and stepping into several inches of water! You are simultaneously shocked and terrified. Then it occurs to you that many of your treasures have been ruined. It begins raining again and water keeps pouring into your basement. You feel helpless and vulnerable.That is what happened to me. I am so grateful we found Forever-Dry. From the moment Ryan came into our lives he took control of the situation. He took the time to show us where the problems were and explained how he could repair everything so we would never again have to worry about our basement. He and his team were respectful of our home and completed the work in three days! The cost was very reasonable and we have a lifetime guarantee!!I want to especially thank Dave and Joe for their kindness and efficiency.

Ryan and his team are top notch. Theyre fair and transparent in the true needs of the project with great pricing. They take the time to execute the job correctly and stand by their work. Just recently, Ryan went above and beyond to help a village inspection, ensuring all parties satisfaction.A+

If youre looking for someone who treats your home like his home, works diligently, and operates with integrity, call Ryan. He and his team helped us through a nightmare of a situation, calmed me down when I freaked out, and kept at the job until everything was done right. He even came back after the work was complete to address an issue and make sure he left us fully taken care of. He left our home cleaner than any contractor weve worked with, and we were so comfortable with him that we could leave the door open for them to work while we were away. Weve found our go-to company for waterproofing needs. You will not regret working with Ryan!

I was very happy with the services provided by Forever-Dry. I really appreciated Ryans professionalism, courtesy and knowledge when he and his crew came to repair a basement leak for me. His costs were also well below the competition and he went out of his way to communicate all aspects of the project to make sure I understood what was being done and that I was satisfied with the work. I highly recommend Forever-Dry.

Ryan and his crew recently finished a 200 drain tile project at my house. It was a big undertaking and I am very happy with the results. He also repaired several cracks, added two sump pits, put in an ejector pit, and trenched the concrete floor for the plumber. His crew was polite and friendly and worked hard, long hours to get the job done on time. The price was also very reasonable for the service provided.

I have called Forever-Dry twice, first time was for my home I sold recently and this time for my new house. We saw a puddle of water in our lower family room and realized we needed the expert again and Ryan (despite being very busy) was able to fix our foundation crack! Thank you so very much Ryan, you did everything fast and perfectly. My family room is super dry and I couldnt have asked for better a guarantee! I highly recommend Forever-Dry for any of these types of challenges!

I called Forever-Dry Basement Waterproofing for an estimate regarding our leaky basement. Ryan was in the area and came out immediately. What we liked about Ryan, he assessed the problem advising us that we had a faulty sump pump. Rather than recommending an expensive solution, Ryan replaced the sump pump. My husband and I would recommend calling Forever-Dry Basement Waterproofing first before calling any other water proofing company.

Ryan and Kyle were awesome. Diagnosed and fixed my foundation crack within 3 days, and that was after major thunderstorms when they were very busy. I found it best to text Ryan for quick answers. I appreciated his prompt replies, straight forward/honest answers, excellent knowledge of water problems in basements, and reasonable pricing. Definitely recommend.

I had Forever Dry do a complete drain tile system along the inside perimeter of my basement. The total job took 3 days to complete. Their pricing is competitive with other drain tile companies and they offer a lifetime transferable warranty for their work. Communication with Ryan (the owner) was simple and seamless. He is very responsive and returns call in a timely fashion. Once my work was scheduled, the crew was there until it was complete making sure to not leave my home in complete disarray with no work occurring. All debris was removed and disposed of by Forever Dry leaving my basement in a broom swept condition. I would definitely recommend this company to others and would have them back for any future work. In the end, you can expect a company that is highly knowledgeable about the various types of waterproofing available, good workmanship, great customer service and a dry basement.

Ryan & his team were great! Our condo building had serious basement work needing to be completed - multiple foundation cracks, drywall removal & street level cracks that needed to be sealed. Ryan inspected the basement, identified issues both downstairs & due to building tuckpointing issues. The prices were very reasonable, service professional & would highly recommend to any person or building manager looking for a basement solution.

PLEASE READ THIS! WHAT A GREAT COMPANY. WOULD GIVE MORE STARS.I had unique situation where every time it would rain I would get water in my basement. I tried numerous fixes, including handyman other companies and could not get my problem fixed.I read the reviews of FOREVER-DRY and I figured let me give it a shot. I called them out here and Ryan came and inspected my problem. So he offered a very reasonable price to fix my problem. He wrote up a contract so I would have in writing his price. I called out Everdry to compare and they wanted 5 TIMES the price Ryan quoted me.So I went with FOREVERY DRY to fix my leaking basement.So here is why I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.THIS WILL BE LONG FAIR WARNING!!FOREVER DRY came out about a week later and did the work. THey took about 4-5 hours to complete my job. I was happy and figured I finally found a company to fix the leak.That next weekend we had a very bad storm, and my basement got pulverized with water. The area that FOREVER DRY fixed needed to be redone. It was NOT FOREVERY DRYS fault and I ended up having to take out an insurance claim to repair the damage from all the water. I contacted Ryan personally and he was EXTREMELY DEDICATED to fixing my issue. He came over a few days later and made a temporary fix to stop the water inflow from my basement door. He did this at NO EXTRA CHARGE. Im thinking wow what a great guy and company. The plan was FOREVER DRY was going to come back out and redo the area.So about a week later we experienced another hard rain and my basement flooded again. I called up Ryan and once again he was very responsive and dedicated to fixing my issue. We talked about different scenarios to fix my door which was the area the water was coming from.He sent his team by my house to dig up under the door so the water could flow straight into the drain tile to water pump.So we got another rain and my basement (YOU GUESSED IT) flooded again. At this point I was disgusted as I was very tired of cleaning up water in my basement. I had another water issue unrelated and I was very flustered. Again I contacted Ryan and once again he was dedicated to fixing my issue. He decided to redo my whole area where my drain was and redo the concrete. TThis was all at no charge. Forever dry ended up doing more work than previously agree upon just to make me happy. I was overhauled with the joy and dedication from this company.FAST FORWARDThey came out about two weeks ago ( its currently June 28th) and let me tell you we have had a few bad storms and FINALLY no water in my basement. Forever Dry fixed my problem.The icing on the cake was Ryan called me to check if I had got any leaks.I never experienced such dedication, and I understand why this company is 5 stars. I WISH I COULD GIVE HIGHER THAN 5 STARS, and in the future I will only deal with Forever dry if I have any basement water issues. 6 STARS IF POSSIBLE RANKING.Thank you RYAN and I hope this review gets you and FOREVER DRY much more business.Mr. Lee

Ryan, Justin and the crew were awesome. Had an inside drain installed and it was a very large project. They were on time and kept me informed on everything they were going to do. One of the best experiences with contractors I have had. All of them were polite and easy to talk to. They know their business inside and out. Would highly recommend them.

I was recommended by a friend to use their service for my moms basement. The guys were very honest about what was going on every step of the way and trustworthy. They worked their butts off to help with our foundation crack in the corner of the basement. I highly recommend them.

I used these guys back in October 2017 when we had bad downpours. I gave them a call and they came by right away. We had 4 cracks and they fixed it with no problem. This company is pretty good and reasonable. I even recommended them to a few people.

When the basement of my house in Richton Park began taking on water, Ryan responded promptly even though he was swamped by other calls from numerous other folks who needed service. When he was finally able to check it out, he was very honest with me and actually recommended that I hold off on doing work even though Im sure having that work would have been good for his business. I appreciate his honesty and how he shot it straight with me instead of taking advantage of the situation with someone who wouldnt have known better. When the situation arises again Ill certainly be giving him the first call.

I’ve talked with Ryan twice now, called him in a panic with questions about water coming into basement of house I’m building. He ran me through all scenarios, asking me all kinds of questions to determine best he can before setting up an appt to cost me money. Sure enough, he’s been able to rule out a need for his services at this time, saving me money and headaches, twice now! He’s super responsive, very honest and knowledgeable. I almost hope I’ll need his services just to be able to pay him for all his help! Alternatively I’ll keep his number in my phone and tell anyone that this is the one who will help and be there when needed.Totally fair, nice, straight shooter. Thank you Ryan!!

Ryan is a life saver. !! As a board member for our association our management received a call of a foundation leak.Ryan responded immediately and was out at the owners unit . He took care of situation and even did work that was not his responsibility for the unit owner .I encourage any homeowner or management company to use Forever Dry . You will not be disappointed!!PS Management called 2 other known companies and they wouldnt be able to go out to the property for at least 2 weeks to even assess the situation

I cannot say enough great things about Ryan. He was extremely helpful, was great as talking things through with us and seemed excited to tackle a difficult project that most others wanted to walk away from. It has been a few months now and we have not had any issues with his fix. I’d highly recommend working with him!

Justin and Ryan came out to install drain tiles in my basement. They did an unbelievable job. They were honest, very knowledgeable, and the service went above and beyond. I appreciate the hard work that you guys did to complete the project. I wouldnt recommend anyone else for any kind of waterproofing work that needs to be done.

I had three cracks in my foundation. Ryans Forever Dry was the most reasonable in price. Ryan has the greatest follow up. He called to set up an appointment, called to say when he is coming, called the night before and called that morning. I also had mold in my home and was very sick for weeks. Ryan called that morning and offered to stop at Jewel or Walgreens to pick up food or medicine for me. I am 71 years old and a senior citizen. How many other companies would do that? None that I know of. I asked a lot of questions and Ryan explained everything in detail. He is very experienced. He also noticed my sump pump was sticking so he replaced it with a much better model and saved me a plumbers service call. They are very neat and did the job quickly. They cleaned up after themselves. I had a home inspector after that and he said Ryan did a great job on fixing the cracks in the foundation. You will be very satisfied if you use Ryan for your problems. Hes great! He does quality work for a reasonable price, he calls back when you call him and he is on time. A friend recommended him and she was very pleased with his work too and she said he had the best price and I agree. Give him a call you wont be disappointed.

Ryan came out and and gave me an estimate on a foundation crack. He recommended an epoxy injection and explained the process. I had received a few other estimates and decided to go with foreverdry because they were the most reasonably priced while still offering a warranty.

I can’t speak highly enough of Forever-Dry and the service provided. I noticed some water stains on the baseboards in our basement and found two cracks in our foundation after opening up the drywall. I was able to send some pictures of the cracks and Ryan responded with a fair quote after getting a clear look at the work that was needed. On the day of the appointment he showed up on time and his experience showed from the start. The cracks were prepped and sealed with high-quality epoxy and he explained each step along the way so I would be comfortable with the results and the work that was done. The initial quote was honored as the final price even though they had to work around a couple of tricky pipes. The work is backed by a lifetime guarantee and was clearly done with pride. I’d refer Forever-Dry to anyone with water issues without hesitation.

A basement repair by the previous owner failed.The repair was made about 3-4 years ago. I contacted the new owner Ryan, who honored the guarantee/warranty by the previous owner and repaired the leak at no charge! This is how I wish all businesses would treat their customers. I would not hesitate to recommend Ryan to anyone.

Had forever - dry come over to repair 7 cracks in my crawl space and install drain pipe on a family room wall. These 2 guys worked hard and fast and they new what they were doing. Next day it rained hard and I checked what they did and no water at all. So I called them back to repair another leak on another wall. Im very happy with the price and there work. Big Thanks to Ryan and Justin if someone needs a leak repaired I will give them your number. Thanks again.

We had a great experience! Ryan and Justin were very thorough and covered all possibilities before proceeding with repairs, ultimately saving us from unnecessary repairs and possible further damage down the road. Ryan returned all of my calls within10 to 20 minutes or less and was always willing to explain and answer questions. They were reasonably priced and very friendly. They were not out to take advantage of the homeowner and also offer a lifetime warranty with their services. I would definitely recommend them! My extremely skeptical father who was at my home during the repairs even said to me, Those guys do good work and they do!
