how much does it cost? my home is 20f width x 24f length. I live in

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?

What he is talking about is the 'weeping tile' that was specified in
your estimate. Different words for the same thing. It is best to have
that, but I would try the cheap cures first, since they are mostly stuff
you will have to do anyway. If the grading/gutters/roof solves the
moisture problem, you can put off or forget about digging the big trench
all around the house.
