Get an accurate look at the range of Waterproofing prices to expect with your project.

Exterior Waterproofing Costs

External waterproofing is an excavation process that is used to create a waterproof foundation. The process begins by clearing debris and digging the entire depth of the foundation before laying in a waterproof membrane. With external waterproofing, you can ensure that your basement is protected from unwanted water that can lead to potential mold or structural damage. Exterior waterproofing costs can range from $50-$300 per linear ft. depending on the size and scope of the job as well as the depth of the trench, ease of access to the foundation, and extent of damage.

Interior Waterproofing Costs

When the outside of the building cannot be accessed, waterproofing is done from inside. This can either be with sealants or epoxy injections. Waterproofing membranes can also be installed, with a drain connected to the sump pump under the basement. Its typical cost is $65 per linear ft., but it may go up to $200 per linear ft depending on the size and scope of the project and labor costs.

New Home Waterproofing Costs

Waterproofing a new home during the construction of the project is crucial for any construction team/new homeowner. Typically waterproofing a home before it’s been built is much easier and less costly than waterproofing an existing home. Local waterproofing companies often charge anywhere from $2-$4 per square feet to waterproof a new home during construction. The price range depends on the amount of materials required for the job.

Crack Repair Costs

After an inspection of the damage to the foundation or the structure of the home, our team of local waterproofing companies will be able to provide an accurate quote. There are many factors that go into the pricing of crack repair and one of the most important factors is what type of repair is needed. There are three different types of crack repair including non-structural crack repair, structural crack repair, and exterior foundation crack repair. The latter is the most cost-prohibitive given this is a much larger job. Internal crack repairs often cost $50-$650 depending on the size of the cracks. On the other hand, exterior crack repairs can cost anywhere from $500 to $10,000 depending on the extent of damage. Note that horizontal cracks are usually a sign of a structural issue that could be more costly.
