Cost: basement waterproofing
The price should describe a defined system and measured quantities. Distinguish walls, floor, junctions and any drainage network. Comparing square-metre and linear-metre rates without scope does not identify a suitable solution.
Editorial update on 19 September 2026
Measure treated areas
Request a plan showing treated walls and floors, junction lengths and exclusions. Identify preparation, repairs and penetrations. Cellar footprint is not automatically the application area.
Show associated work
Itemise removal, access, excavation if needed, protection, collection, disposal and making good. Separate checks from maintenance. Specify any pump or monitoring equipment with power and upkeep.
Examine commitments
Request pricing assumptions, provisional quantities, taxes and change procedures. Any warranty should state scope, duration, responsible party and conditions; tanking does not imply automatic ten-year coverage.

Frequently asked questions
Is drainage always better?
No. Compare solutions compatible with ground, building, disposal options and use.
Must treatments be combined?
No. Request justification for each component instead of automatically adding tanking, injection and drainage.
Does injection stop all ingress?
Do not assume that. Specify the phenomenon addressed, compatible substrates and limits.
When can finishes be installed?
Set system- and material-specific checks and drying criteria. A uniform waiting period does not establish readiness.
