Contractor Tip #1:

Before you start to frame the basement walls, make sure that you inspect for cracks, leaks and signs of water infiltration. Whenever you encounter staining on foundation walls, you must establish the reason why this staining is present. If you are unsure, call us at 1.888.284.2384. By addressing water infiltration problems at an early stage, you avoid potential rework when the walls are closed and you avoid being blamed for failing to notify your clients concerning potential problems. Your clients will thank you for the opportunity to prevent future water infiltration problems. Once again, you look good in the eyes of your customer.

Contractor Tip #2:

If you are pricing a basement finishing job you must allocate some budget for waterproofing. We recommend a minimum of $1000.00 for poured concrete foundations and $2500.00 for concrete block or stone foundations.
