Trusted by Local Families
The water pooling on your floor. The damp smell that never goes away. The sump pump running constantly but doing nothing to keep things dry. You can see the stains spreading, feel the humidity in the air, and worry about mold taking hold.
The longer water sits, the worse it gets. Foundations crack. Concrete flakes. Repair costs climb. And every storm brings the same problem back, stealing your peace of mind and threatening everything you store below.
NH Dry Basement LLC handles basement waterproofing, crawl space drainage, and vapor barrier installation for Portsmouth homeowners who expect honest work and long-term results. Since day one, we’ve been a family-owned outfit focused on keeping foundations dry, not on upselling.
Our team specializes in sump pumps, battery backups, dehumidification, and full encapsulation. Whether it’s perimeter drainage, crawl space ventilation, or concrete slab prep after removal, we bring the tools and the experience to fix moisture problems the right way.
We show up on time, explain every step, and stand behind the work. When you need a dry basement and a crew that treats it like their own, you’ve found the right team for Portsmouth.
Homeowners dealing with foundation leaks get perimeter drainage, sump pumps, and vapor barriers that stop water intrusion for good.
No puddles, no dampness, just a basement or crawl space ready for storage or finishing.
Less humidity and moisture means fewer mold spores circulating through your home's ventilation system.
Water damage stops before it weakens your foundation walls, floor joists, or structural supports.
Our basement stayed dry through the last two major storms, something we haven’t been able to say in years. The crew walked us through every step, answered all our questions, and cleaned up after themselves every single day. The new drainage system and sump pump have given us real peace of mind.
They fixed a crawl space drainage problem three other contractors said was too complicated. The difference in our air quality upstairs is noticeable.

We slope surfaces and install drainage to move water away from your foundation before it causes problems.
Vapor barriers are installed with overlapped seams and secure fastening so moisture stays out of crawl spaces permanently.
We size sump pumps correctly and add battery backups so your basement stays dry even during power outages.
Every waterproofing system is installed with attention to detail, leaving your property tidy and the work built to last.
We install dehumidifiers and ventilation systems that control humidity levels and prevent mold growth in basements and crawl spaces.
Concrete, polyethylene liners, and drainage pipes are selected for long service life in wet conditions without frequent repairs.
From waterproofing to drainage systems, we handle moisture control across the region. Every job uses materials chosen for New England’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy spring runoff.
Most projects start within one to two weeks once permits clear and materials arrive. Scheduling depends on weather and the size of the job.
Yes. We pull all required permits and handle inspections so the work meets code. You stay informed but you don’t chase paperwork.
Our systems include a written warranty. If water shows up again we return to diagnose and fix the issue at no charge during the warranty period.
Often yes. Interior drainage channels and sump pump installation can protect the space without gutting walls. We assess the layout first and recommend the least invasive approach.
A standard interior perimeter drain and sump pump usually takes two to three days. Larger jobs with vapor barriers or exterior excavation may run four to five days depending on access and soil conditions.
