Waterproofing foundation on average costs homeowner around $4,308. If your foundation requires only small repairs, you might be met with a bill as little as $600 in comparison. More complex issues like adding drains and fixing cracks can cost you a lot more than the average.

Waterproofing your basement is important in protecting your home from potential damage. Whether you are being proactive or already have water entering your home, you need to prevent flooding. Besides repairing cracks and installing drains, your foundation needs a comprehensive seal to fight moisture. For proper installation, consult a qualified licensed contractor.

Exterior Foundation Sealing

After an initial consultation, it might be wise to address the exterior of your home’s foundation.

Most homes come with damp proofing for basements and crawl spaces but that doesn’t protect your home from actual water leaks. Damp proofing is designed to keep out soil moisture and is maintained with a special coating sprayed to the outside of your foundation.

Waterproofing costs more but keeps both soil moisture and liquid water like rain out of your basement.

Cement Waterproofing

One of the easier options is to use a cementitious solution to keeping water out. It works as a thick coating that can be applied to the exterior foundation. The main disadvantage of this option is its lack of flexibility. Any movement to the foundation can cause cracking and render the waterproofing useless. That is why this type of foundation waterproofing is used in warmer and dryer climates which don’t see much expansion and contraction from huge temperature fluctuations.

Foundation Waterproofing Membrane

If cement isn’t an option, you can always opt for a membrane. This option is more costly due to the excavation required but it can also be the most effective solution for a dry basement.

The rubberized asphalt membranes are fitted to the exterior of the foundation below ground and up to the surface. This laminated polyethylene film is unforgiving if not installed correctly, so be sure to consult with a professional.

Exterior Weeping Tiles

Weeping tiles are plastic pipes with punched holes that run along the outside of your home. Water that would otherwise enter your home is collected in these pipes and directed away from the home. The cost to install this system is $100 to $250.

Interior Basement and Foundation Waterproofing

For your interior walls, you have options between concrete coatings, silicate sealers, water repellent paint and vapor barriers which encapsulates your crawl space.

Concrete Waterproofing

A thick, permanent concrete coat can help to keep the water out of your basement, even if it gets through your exterior barriers. Expect to pay between $500 and $2,000 for professional interior concrete waterproofing. Coating costs less in labor when compared to other sealing methods because no excavation is needed.

Silicate Concrete Sealers

Unlike concrete, these silicate sealers do their job by penetrating into the foundation walls they are applied on. A chemical reaction takes place inside which increases the chance of your foundation staying dry. This option won’t change the appearance of your walls as it’s practically unnoticeable.

Crawl Space Seepage

Does it look like wetness just creeps in all along the floor of your crawl space? Seepage is real. The ground becomes saturated during rainy seasons. Pressure builds between the water and soil. The water then pushes its way into any space where it will fit; for example, in cracks and spaces in the basement floors and walls. Thus, seepage is born.
