Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing solutions address water intrusion through foundation cracks, floor drains, and wall joints. Using interior drainage systems, sump pumps, and exterior waterproof membranes, we create multi-layer protection against water damage. Each system includes lifetime structural warranties and patented Fast-Trak technology that moves 30% more water than standard corrugated pipes while resisting clogs.
Foundation Repair
We specialize in foundation crack repair, wall reinforcement, and pier foundation installation. Our methods include carbon fiber wall supports, steel push piers, and helical piers that stabilize foundations by reaching load-bearing soil strata. All repairs come with lifetime performance guarantees and include comprehensive inspections to identify root causes of settlement issues.
Radon Mitigation
Our EPA-recognized radon mitigation systems reduce indoor radon levels through sub-slab depressurization and crawlspace encapsulation. Certified technicians install vent piping and continuous operation fans that safely redirect radon gas outdoors. Every system includes post-installation testing to verify radon levels drop below 2.0 pCi/L, with annual maintenance recommendations for continued protection.
Crawlspace Encapsulation
This service seals crawlspaces with 20-mil reinforced vapor barriers and dehumidification systems. We install perimeter drainage channels connected to sump pumps while sealing all foundation vents. The encapsulation process eliminates mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations while improving home energy efficiency by up to 18% through controlled humidity levels.
Sump Pump Systems
We install primary and battery backup sump pump systems with lifetime mechanical warranties. Our systems feature dual-pump configurations, alarm systems for power failures, and discharge lines with check valves to prevent backflow. Every installation includes water testing during concrete re-pouring to verify 100% system functionality before project completion.

Report
We had just retired and moved to Roanoke. After two weeks we had a down pour and we discovered a flooded basement. We called Sure Dri. Keith was on site in less than 4 days. He diagnosed the problem and gave me a reasonable quote. The crew showed up on the specified date and time. Polite and professional. They explained their work so that I could easily understand. The job was done in 2.5 days. Last night we had a down pour and a dry basement, I can easily recommend Sure Dri.way beyond the competitors!

Sure-Dri Remidiation for hazardous Radon levels is amazingly proficient! I found my basement had a level 7 for Radon when the standard is no greater than a 4. The Sure-Dri team knew exactly how to solve the problem effectively. After their incomparable repairs and fan installation they brought levels down to a.3 - barely traceable. My only regret is that I didn't have my house tested sooner and avoided toxic exposure a lot earlier. It's a relief knowing we have Radon experts such as Sure-Dri in our area to fix major issues.

I recommend Sure-Dri, my opinion is based on these three things. Integrity, quality, and affordability. This company has made a trying situation less difficult and provided a remedy that I'm sure will last. If I should have problems, then I have no doubt that they will honor the lifetime warranty I received as part of our contract. I had a drainage system installed along the walls of my basement to stop water from coming in where the wall and floor meet.
Shout out to Paul, Adam, and the rest of their crew for a job well done. Adam and his crew showed up on time and finished the job in two days. They were kind and worked extremely hard while keeping the work area as neat as possible. I have no idea what you pay them, but they certainly earn it. Great job Sure Dri.

I highly recommend Keith Martin and his team for basement waterproofing issues. He installed a french drain system for me in 2012, and it still works reliably. I called him again recently for what I thought might be a new problem, and he determined it was nothing of concern, and did not try to sell me something I did not need. Service: Waterproofing
