Ever Dry Waterproofing

What Ever Dry Waterproofing does

EverDry Waterproofing (legal entity: EverDry Marketing and Management Inc.) is a privately held residential basement waterproofing and foundation repair company founded in 1983 in Columbus, Ohio, now operating from Fairfield, Ohio. The company delivers its service through a franchise model with 17 independently owned and operated locations spread across eight U.S. states — Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — serving residential homeowners via direct-to-consumer in-home and downspout inspections, customized waterproofing proposals, and project-based installation work.

At the core of the offering is the Everdry multi-step waterproofing system, which integrates exterior and interior subsystems. The exterior Modern Drainage System® handles surface water and foundation-wall intrusion via an inspection trench, crack sealing, and drainage installation; the interior Pressure Relief System® addresses hydrostatic pressure with a relief pump, piping, Coveplate®, and Durashield® components. Layered add-on modules include EZBreathe® ventilation (which cycles home air up to 10 times per day), SmartPower™ battery backup (2,200–3,500 GPH pumps, 3–8 day runtime) for power-outage protection, and StablWall™ carbon-fiber wall stabilization (2mm reinforced carbon fiber, originally adapted from aerospace, industrial, medical, and transportation applications).

Revenue is generated from one-time installation services (the dominant stream), hardware sales of emergency pumping and ventilation units, and franchisor economics from the 17 franchisees (initial franchise fees, royalties, training revenue). Pricing is quote-based following free inspections, with financing arranged through major banks to make projects more affordable. The company claims over 80,000 basements, crawl spaces, and slab homes serviced, multiple patents and dozens of trademarks, and brand exposure via HGTV and radio features. Marketing and demand generation rely on a corporate website, online lead-capture forms, free in-home inspections, professional association memberships (NARI, NAWSRC, BIA, NAHB, BCB), and earned media.
