how much does it cost? my home is 20f width x 24f length. I live in
Toronto/Ontario. One company gave me the below quota which i found
very expensive, what do you think please? thanks


"A rough estimate for external waterproofing 88 linear feet with a
standard 6-7 foot deep dig as follows: We would excavate down to the
bottom of the footings, clean the walls, apply a rubberized urethane
by hand and also attach a dimple board on top. Install new weeping
tile and cover with 2 feet of 3/4" gravel, then cover with a
geomembrane. We would then back fill to grade.Rough Price: $10,000 +
HST $1,300 Total= $11,300"


How bad and where does it leak, the price is ok, but do you need all
that done. Maybe you do need it, and then you should consider a drain
tile system while its all dug up.


thanks Ransley for your reply. Not sure what you meant by "do you need
all that done" ?
do you mean do i need to do all the basement of just the part that is
leaking? the answer: of course i prefer to do only that part but i
thought since i started to fix one part then why not all (just to save
cost for long run if i will have to do another part)

could you please also tell me what do you mean by a drain tule system?
