FAQs

  • Is the fill compacted and will excess dirt be removed?

    In most repair cases, the fill is compacted and topped with topsoil where appropriate. However, there may be instances when it is not possible to compact the fill, such as when the soil is too muddy or if the repair is under an overhang. In these situations, you have the option to request additional fill removal from your property at no extra charge while we are still on-site. If you need more soil added or removed, or require cold patch or concrete placement after the work is completed, please contact your Estimator to discuss the additional fees involved.

  • What if they find some unknown problem once they start digging?

    When excavating, there is always a risk of encountering unforeseen problems. Most issues are minor and can be addressed without notifying the homeowner. However, some problems may require additional work or costs, such as plugged weeping tiles or finding no weeping tiles at all, which might necessitate installing a sump pump. In these cases, your Estimator will discuss the issue with you and recommend the appropriate course of action. If we cannot contact you, the problem will be documented and photographed, and we will take the necessary steps to address the issue as economically as possible without compromising the quality of your repair work.


    For over three decades, DryBasements.com has been the trusted partner for basement repair and waterproofing services in Woodstock and surrounding areas in Ontario.

  • Is the fill compacted, and will excess dirt be removed?

    Proper compaction of the fill would require compacting in very thin layers, which can be time-consuming and costly. Instead, we recommend allowing the ground to settle naturally. Soil and weather conditions greatly impact the amount of soil left over after the project. To expedite settling, we suggest running a garden hose over the soil every few days to accelerate the settling process. Our pricing includes the removal of fill equal to the volume of drainage stone added to the excavation. If you require additional soil added or removed after the work is completed, please contact your Estimator for an additional fee.


  • What if something gets damaged or broken during the repair process?

    If any damage occurs as a result of an error or omission on the part of our employees, we will cover the cost of repairs to restore the affected area to its previous condition. However, damage resulting from age or normal wear and tear will be the responsibility of the owner, as well as any damage that is a direct consequence of the repair process. We strive to minimize property damage and perform a final clean-up to address any mess created during the excavation. Still, you may need to do some additional raking and clean-up afterward, including hosing off walkways and patios.


  • What if the weeping tile can’t be cleared for some reason or there is no tile?

    If we cannot clear the material plugging the weepers or if there is no tile present, the next step would be a full excavation and waterproofing of the affected area. In most cases, we recommend waterproofing an entire wall section, hoping that the adjacent tiles are clear. If not, we can either install a sump connected to the new tile or continue with the full excavation and connect to an existing or new sump elsewhere. Some clients may choose to excavate the entire house to avoid concerns about other areas in the future.

  • What if you can’t flush past the corner or find the tile is blocked elsewhere?

    If we cannot flush past the corner or discover a blockage elsewhere, we will recommend an additional excavation at the blockage site or at a corner. This process continues until the entire house's drainage system is confirmed to be clear. In such cases, it is essential to address the blockage promptly to prevent further issues and maintain the effectiveness of the weeping tile system.
