Is $8,000 to install a basement waterproofing package a fair price?

Project Details

I have a split-level home and am experiencing water coming up through the carpet in some spots on the ground floor. A basement waterproofing company quoted me a range of $8,000-$12,000 for a waterproofing package, but they didn't diagnose the specific issue. I'm unsure if I should seek other opinions or who to call, and I don't have $10,000 to fix this problem.
