Is $16,000 to install an interior drain tile and sump pump system a fair price?

Project Details

Family moved in a year ago. The house is near a flood zone and neighbors experience basement water intrusion. Backyard slopes toward the house causing pooling. Noticed drywall cracks and sticking doors. Currently no sump pump or active seepage, but planning to finish the basement eventually.

Quote Details

Full perimeter interior waterproofing system including: - Excavation of the basement floor along the interior foundation walls - Installation of perforated drain tile piping - Installation of a sump pump basin and pump system - Backfilling and concrete floor restoration
