‘58 Foundations & Waterproofing Pricing Structure

We want to help give you a better understanding of how our ‘58 Foundations & Waterproofing basement waterproofing pricing structure works. The reality of waterproofing cost estimates is that the estimate truly depends on your home and the severity of its problems. Some factors that may affect the pricing include, but are not limited to:

• Severity of damage to your foundation (foundation floor cracks, bowing walls, etc.)
• The size of the area that requires waterproofing
• The types of waterproofing solutions required for your home’s unique situation

The best way to determine the price for waterproofing your basement or crawlspace is to take advantage of our free inspections for homeowners. One of our certified experts will take measurements and inspect your home. They will also be able to tell if your water heater or other large appliances or items will need to be moved, which might require an electrician or plumber. There are a number of factors to be considered to help ensure that your basement or crawlspace problems will be accounted for.

The Main Factors That Contribute to Pricing

Structure Size

From a small crawlspace to an entire basement, square footage is a primary component in determining your basement waterproofing or crawlspace encapsulation costs. In some circumstances, you may only need to waterproof one wall, usually where the water is entering below ground level. However, you may have water intrusion on multiple walls, or you might want to address all walls at the same time to avoid future water problems. In this case, you should waterproof the entire basement. For crawlspaces, encapsulation is a complete process.

Foundation Damage

Sometimes hard to spot and easy to gloss over, your concrete foundation can suffer more than you realize. It is important to have an expert determine if a minor crack is normal settling or if it is a sign of a serious structural problem. Foundation repairs can be very simple or quite extensive. You may just simply need a crack filled. But there is the possibility that you may need piers, anchors, I-beams, or a combination of methods to resolve the problem.

Here are some symptoms that may indicate your foundation may have a more serious problem than just a crack that needs filling:

• Bowing or leaning foundation wall
• Sinking foundation
• Leaking wall or floor cracks
• Window or door jamming
• Sagging or bouncy first-floor flooring
• Leaning chimney

Concerned About a Foundation Crack? Don’t Ignore It!

Even if your foundation just has cracks, it is recommended to have them inspected if you suspect that they’re growing or if you have noticed signs of water leaking through them. These signs could be indications of your foundation having problems with hydrostatic pressure and groundwater intrusion. Hydrostatic pressure can cause basement walls and floors to crack and leak. This kind of water pressure is typically created when it rains and the water table rises to meet the foundation. If your foundation is damaged and doesn’t have a proper waterproofing system in place, it can lead to invasive moisture or even a flooded basement or crawlspace.

Excess moisture or water in your basement or crawlspace can result in further problems that will require repair. Some of these problems include mold growth and wood rot on wooden support structures. That same moisture can also attract pests that need a humid environment to survive such as termites and dust mites.

As you can see, while the pricing of your foundation repair and waterproofing may depend on a variety of factors, it clearly is a worthy investment to prevent these extra problems from arising. Allowing these moisture-related problems to affect your home will result in even more repair costs.
