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.
