With education as a primary focus and anchor to what we do, we aim to serve you, our clients the best way possible.
Who Are We?
We Are Altra Dry
Altra Dry was started in 1988 by the late Larry Conley. With passion for family and finding the best way to help customers, his business was born.
Sara Conley, Larry’s Daughter, took over the company in 2013 with the same passion for family, community, and education.
Through growth and development, 36 years later it is now a second-generation, full-service restoration and waterproofing company serving customers the right way.
When any disaster strikes in your home or business, know that Altra Dry has the experience and compassion to ensure that your property is restored safely and completely.
This is our passion and our calling. Let us take care of you.
Meet the Altra Dry Team
Sara Conley
Owner
In 1988 my dad, Larry Conley, started his adventure of entrepreneurship. In 2013 Dad got diagnosed with cancer for the second time and could no longer work. With the same passion for family, community, and education I took over the company.
Today, I am proud to continue my father’s legacy as a second-generation, full-service restoration and waterproofing company.
This is my passion and my calling. I love taking care of people.
Jennifer Greene
Business Development Director
Jennifer thrives at the intersection of business growth and community building. Her career includes helping launch the area’s premier coworking hub with the City Redevelopment Commission, building out a makerspace for local entrepreneurs, and serving as a Program Director for a business incubator and the ISBDC. She has also lent her administrative talents to the local Community College’s School of Business leadership, spent nine years directing a non-profit Montessori school, and served on the boards of multiple community organizations.
Jennifer is happiest gardening, exploring local eateries and appreciating the arts. She is an empty nester to two wonderful grown children, a proud dog mom to a rescue Yorkie named Mook, and the overjoyed, newly minted “Gigi” to a beautiful newborn grandbaby.
Holli Poe
Lead Technician
Holli brings a wealth of restoration knowledge and a passion for continuous growth to Altra Dry. Her sharp attention to detail is matched only by her compassion for people, making her an instant favorite among our clients and crew alike.
Off the clock, Holli is a massive basketball enthusiast. In 2023, she put that passion into action by founding the Indiana Legions, Henry County’s men’s ABA basketball team. From property restoration to sports management, Holli excels at bringing people together and executing with precision.
Brandon Denny
Lead Technician
As our most veteran employee, Brandon has been the bedrock of Altra Dry since 2017, riding out the waves of growth. Today, he serves as our resident Crawlspace Expert, bringing a comprehensive, master-level knowledge of every service we offer.
When he isn’t solving complex property issues, Brandon is a dedicated father to five beautiful children. He loves spending his quality family time embracing the great outdoors—whether they are fishing, four-wheeling, or camping out under the stars. Brandon’s deep loyalty, technical skill, and family-first mindset make him an invaluable leader on our team.
Starbuck Clements
Technician
Yes, that’s his real name! Starbuck is a true Henry County local who loves deer hunting, lifted Ford Rangers, and hitting up area motor events.
Having been with the Altra Dry crew for three years now, he’s no longer the rookie on the team. Starbuck has proven that size doesn’t matter when it comes to grit; he routinely steps up to handle the heaviest loads, the tightest fits, and the dirtiest restoration jobs without hesitation.
Joey Poe
Technician
Joey joined the Altra Dry crew in early 2025, quickly earning a reputation as our most reliable “rookie.” A remarkably fast learner with a constant drive to expand his skills, he has adapted to the fast-paced restoration industry with ease. What truly sets Joey apart, however, is his ability to keep company morale high. Armed with an incredible wit and an understated sense of humor, he naturally keeps things light, fun, and positive during shop interactions and morning huddles.
Outside of work, Joey channels his creative energy into music, playing bass guitar in a local garage band. Above all, he is a proud dad who treasures spending quality time with his young son, family, and friends. Joey’s blend of steadfast reliability and uplifting humor makes him a fantastic addition to the team.
Adrina
Customer Service
We truly mean it when we say Altra Dry is built on family dedication. Adrina is owner Sara’s niece, continuing a proud tradition of family members stepping up to support the business. Her journey with us began as a high school summer administrative assistant, and was welcomed back to manage our Customer Service desk following her graduation this past July.
Though she is just 18, Adrina handles her office responsibilities with remarkable maturity and steady focus. She balances her role at the company with her college coursework in phlebotomy.

The Altra Dry Difference
What makes us different from the rest is our ability to get real personal and individualized with you throughout the whole process.
When we come out, we will treat you like how you would treat a loved one in need of help. Whether it’s to give you advice, or to let you know how to fix it on your own, or to offer our best possible and most cost-effective service.
Unlike the bigger and more national names in the industry, we are able to provide you with a more in-depth consultation and a tailor-made solution that, not only solves your current problems, but also gives you peace of mind that you are working with someone local and will treat you like family.
We are the ones who will say, “Call us if you need anything”. And when you do, we’ll be right there. That’s our differentiator.
