Basement inspection
An appointment to look at the outside drainage, visible entry points and existing equipment. You receive an explanation and a written scope if work is recommended. No obligation.
Free
Understand the options
The work follows
the inspection.
We check where water is entering before recommending a repair. These are starting prices, with access and the condition of the basement confirmed during the visit.
Four starting points
Crack injection
For a suitable, accessible crack in a poured-concrete wall. We assess the crack first; movement or damaged masonry may need a different specialist.
From $450 / crack
Interior drain
A short interior drain run, up to 20 linear ft, with accessible concrete removal and patching. Longer runs and difficult access cost more. Sump installation is separate if needed.
From $4,500
Sump pump installation
A standard basin, primary pump and a straightforward discharge route, with an existing suitable power connection. Electrical work, backup equipment and unusual discharge routes are separate.
From $1,800
Starting prices are not a package price. We list the recommended work, exclusions and total in your quote before you decide.
Start above ground
Give rain
a way past
the house.
Gutters and downspouts
Keep gutters clear and look for overflow during rain from a safe spot on the ground. Downspouts should carry water away from the foundation, with a clear route that does not send it onto a walkway or another property.
Grading
We look for low spots that let water collect against the wall. Soil sloping toward the house may need grading work. We explain what we see; gutter replacement and major grading are quoted by the appropriate trade separately.
Before choosing a repair
Do I have to book work after the free inspection?
No. The inspection is free and there is no obligation to book work. We leave the findings and any recommended scope for you to consider.
Does every basement need an interior drain?
No. An isolated wall crack or an outside drainage issue may need a smaller repair. We explain why we recommend a particular approach.
Can you inspect in winter?
Yes, when access allows. Snow or frozen ground can hide outside drainage conditions; we explain those limits and whether a spring follow-up is needed.
