Douglas (Doug) B. Kern has always been interested in the construction industry. After meeting the founder of B-Dry Waterproofing System, Doug was so impressed with B-Dry's unique approach to waterproofing basements he purchased the original B-Dry franchise in 1992. We visited with Doug recently, and listened as he provided this overview of B-Dry's services and their remarkable history as the undisputed leader in the waterproofing industry;
B-Dry Waterproofing System is the only once-and-forever solution to wet basements and crawlspaces. Founded in 1958, B-Dry has successfully waterproofed over 14,000 basements in the local area and 220,000 basements nation-wide. We're the oldest and largest waterproofing company in the country, and we have been awarded several United States Patents for innovative waterproofing technology and products.
We specialize in all types of residential, commercial, and industrial waterproofing, in addition to building new foundations and repairing old ones, installing new footer drains and sump pumps, downspout and yard drainage systems, and pouring new concrete patios, sidewalks, and driveways. The majority of our projects are residential, although our commercial work includes banks, hospitals, the U.S. Postal Service, tunnels, and elevator shafts. We offer 90 days same-as-cash terms, as well as a nice selection of financing options. Our market area includes Medina, Summit, Stark, Portage and Wayne Counties.
Our system is an interior footer drain system that provides for continuous, uninterrupted drainage for the life of the structure. We dig a trench next to the footer where we install our patented pipe. We then drill weep holes in every core of the bottom course of cement blocks, and seal the walls with our exclusive Ridged Sealer. This is a non-permeable waterproofing material which is formulated to be anti-smoke, anti-flame, and non-toxic, which makes it both highly effective and totally safe for use in your home. We tie the system to a sump pump that pumps excess water outside, plus we install Aqua Jets, our patented, non-clogging system that ensures the the drainage pipes remain clean and free-flowing. Once we re-cement the area you won't even know we were there, except that everything is waterproofed and your basement is dry.
The revolutionary design of the B-Dry System enables us to provide our customers with a life-of-the-structure warranty. Once we waterproof your basement, our work is warrantied for the life of the structure at no additional cost. Not only are your water leakage problems permanently solved, but should you decide to sell your structure in the future, our warranty is transferable to the new owner without a fee.
One of the greatest benefits of having your basement waterproofed is that you can gain valuable living space in your basement where you can build a rec room, playroom for your children, extra bedrooms, or a home office. Waterproofing has proven itself to be the most economical way to add livable space to your home.
