We believe it is important for you to know that SouthernDry is a family owned business. How does that benefit you as our customer? It means that we treat you and your property as we would our own. Everyone on the SouthernDry Team is here to help through every step of the process. The number one complaint we hear from customers that have gotten bids, or actually used other larger companies, is that there are too many points of contact and it’s often hard to even communicate with them. We pride ourselves on being attentive to your needs and even though we are handling multiple projects at one time, we do our best to be available and flexible to fit your schedule.
SouthernDry provides foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, concrete leveling and mold services to homeowners and businesses in Alabama and Georgia. Our Project Planners and Foremen are trained and certified in all of our services and are constantly expanding their skill set through additional training. Since we declare that education is the key to everything we do, you should know that this philosophy does not end with our employees. We trust that the best customer is the most educated on the problems they are experiencing and the solutions available to them. You will work directly with your Project Manager, as a Team, to create the best solution for your problems and your budget.
We do not believe in high pressure sales, instead we want to determine the problem and educate you on the most cost effective solution to correct it. At SouthernDry, our employees treat you like they want to be treated. We respect how important your home is and how distressing it can be to have a major issue causing damage. It’s common to get a few quotes from other contractors, but we urge you to have us out and talk to us before you make a final decision. We want to earn your business and provide you with a great experience with an locally-owned waterproofing and foundation repair expert.
