Is $17,000 to waterproof a 1,200 sqft basement a fair price?

Project Details

My home is on a mix of red clay and regular soil. There is no mold or rot, but I have efflorescence on the walls and floor. I have a main basement that is 1,200 sqft and a crawl space under the garage that is connected to the basement.

Waterproof a 1920s clay block foundation

This quote from a waterproofing company is for waterproofing my clay block foundation. The company indicated that it would not completely waterproof the foundation due to the type of foundation not being able to be pinned to. The work would also involve tearing up the existing vinyl floor, which I would then have to pay to replace. - Scope: Waterproofing of a clay block foundation - Limitation: Not able to completely waterproof due to foundation type (cannot be pinned to) - Impact: Requires tearing up existing vinyl floor - Additional Cost: Homeowner responsible for replacing torn-up vinyl floor
