Basement Leak Estimates
I've had this corner in the basement that has let in water since day 1. Not a lot, just a trickle. Originally, I was told it was because of grading, and I did that, but it never really went away.
Well, since I'm probably going to be selling next year, it was put up or shut up.
Estimate #1: $8,000, dig out the outside of that wall and reseal.
Estimate #2: $33,000, but that was to redo the [b]entire[/b] basement (for one corner that leaks).
Estimate #3: $8,000. This guy would essentially do what the guy in #1 would do, plus an internal drain tied to the outside along the wall and redo the sump. I think this is a winner.
The rest is all basic tuck point work and painting which we can do ourselves.
