About American Dry Basement Systems
Trusted Basement & Crawl Space Waterproofing Experts in Connecticut, Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess Counties in NY
Lasting Waterproofing. Honest Information. Zero Pressure.
At American Dry Basement Systems, our mission is to provide homeowners with accurate and honest waterproofing solutions — helping you reclaim your basement or crawl space from the damaging effects of water, moisture, and mold.
We believe in systems that:
- Eliminate water during even the heaviest rainstorms
- Protect the structural integrity of your home
- Meet building code compliance
- Make basements finish-ready
- No maintenance of sub-floor drainage pipes
- Are backed by a lifetime warranty against clogs and cracks
We’re not here to sell — we’re here to solve. Whether you’re dealing with a leaky basement wall or a damp crawl space, our experts will explain the best approach for your specific foundation needs. Sometimes, we’ll even suggest a DIY fix if it’s simple enough.
Waterproofing Since 1997
Since our founding in 1997, American Dry Basement Systems has continued to evolve with the most reliable materials, smart installation techniques, and honest education.
Key milestones include:
- System Design
Our drainage pipe is carefully pitched in the "magic zone" - between the top and bottom of the footing - to prevent backup or overflow.
- Engineering Tabs
Most waterproofers skip this step. We don't. Tabs protect your home's structural strength - even if it takes more time.
- SuperCrete Concrete
Developed in-house, SuperCrete bonds at the molecular level to create a finish-ready surface that never cracks.
- Green Solutions
From our dust-suppressing negative air scrubber to our proprietary EnviroBoot jackhammer attachment, we go above and beyond to protect your indoor air quality.
