What sets Basement Systems apart from the competition?

What are the factors that influence the costs of basement waterproofing?

Basement size

The pricing of the French drain system, which is designed to alleviate water pressure and channel groundwater to a sump pump, is based on the linear foot. To provide you with a waterproofing estimate, the contractor will measure the perimeter of the basement and multiply the linear foot measurement by a set price per foot of drain line.

Basement finish used

Access to the corner area where the concrete basement wall meets the slab floor is essential for waterproofing workers. If finished walls obstruct this access, they may need to be partially or entirely removed. The EverLast™ Finished Wall Restoration System from Basement Systems facilitates the removal of only the lower section of existing finished walls, saving time and money while minimizing mess.

Quality and features of sump pump

While installing a bargain-priced sump pump may seem like a cost-saving measure, the savings can quickly vanish if the low-quality pump fails or becomes overwhelmed. Many homeowners choose to invest in an advanced sump pump like the TripleSafe® model from Basement Systems. This system features a trio of sump pumps designed to offer backup pumping during high-volume situations and a battery-powered pump for power outages.

If a dehumidifier is installed

Excess humidity can persist in a seemingly "dry" basement, primarily because the foundation absorbs moisture from the soil and releases it into the basement. Given the importance of maintaining low humidity levels to prevent mold infestation, the cost of a dehumidifier may be included in your overall waterproofing expenses.

Whether or not repairs are necessary

In a finished basement, damaged finished materials affected by moisture may require removal or replacement. This additional work can contribute to your waterproofing expenses.
