Editorial Review
Our Take on Ryan Waterproofing & Plumbing
Ryan Waterproofing & Plumbing stands out in Buffalo because one crew can fix the drain tile and the sewer line that feeds it. Reviews are strongly positive on cleanliness and explanation, but communication after the first visit is the weak spot to test. Written warranty terms and insurance proof are not published, so request them before signing.

Company Background
About Ryan Waterproofing & Plumbing
Ryan Waterproofing & Plumbing pairs basement waterproofing with drain and sewer plumbing, which helps when a wet basement has more than one cause. The family-owned company has operated since 1987 from 292 Curtis Parkway, near the Buffalo and Tonawanda line, and its website lists Amherst, Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Clarence, Hamburg, Lancaster, North Tonawanda, Orchard Park, Tonawanda and West Seneca as its service area.
On the waterproofing side, the site lists interior drain tile systems, exterior waterproofing, basement leak and flooding repair, crawl space waterproofing, foundation wall crack repair, sump pumps and backup pumps, French drains, bubbler systems and downspout extensions. On the plumbing side it offers drain cleaning, video drain inspections, sewer line repair and replacement, and sump discharge plumbing. One company can diagnose a collapsed sewer pipe, a clogged drain tile or a soggy yard. The site also advertises free inspections and estimates, a free sump pump and battery backup with a full waterproofing package, and says most jobs finish in one to three days.
Reviews back up the day to day work. Customers describe drain tile replacements that left finished basements dry, bubbler systems that now work properly, and crews that swept and mopped at the end of each day. One reviewer credits a foreman named Dan for a punctual, courteous crew, another singles out an employee named Cade, and several describe the owner, Chris, explaining each step before work started. The record is not spotless. A May 2026 one-star review says calls and an email went unanswered for weeks after an inspection and that a friend's deposit had not led to a scheduled date, so expect to follow up firmly on timing.
Ryan Waterproofing & Plumbing holds 4.7 from 97 Google reviews, read October 20, 2026, and is open 9 AM to 5 PM seven days a week according to Google.
It suits homeowners in Buffalo and the inner suburbs who want drainage, pumps and plumbing handled together. It suits less well anyone who wants a long written warranty or a named manufacturer system, because neither is stated on the site. Before booking, ask for the written scope, the warranty terms and proof of liability insurance and workers compensation. New York has no statewide waterproofing or home improvement contractor licence, so ask for the company's Erie County home improvement licence number if it claims one, and check City of Buffalo permit requirements with the Division of Permit and Inspection Services.
