How much will cost to waterproof a Basement?

By on August 27, 2010 in mold inspection cost

Im looking to buy a home and we found the one but after inspection we found out that we need to waterproof the basement. It has water damage and mold but the house is with a great price, is it worth buy the house and then fixing it up or the cost to waterproof is 2 high? HELPPPPP

We have the same issue. We had some basement repair type company come out, and they explained to us that waterproofing the basement was a waste of money, because if water is getting in, you might have shifting or cracks. They recommended to us to have a sump pump installed along with a drainage system along the interior and exterior of the house. They wanted $20,000 to do all of this. So I guess just decide if you want to go through the added hassel and expenses, now if you guys are quite handy you can do it all on your own for a lot less money and then it might be worth it. Talk to friends and family and ask them if anyone had the same issues and try to get an idea of what your going to go through.
