How it works

Scope and permit
We scope the recommended solution and file any required grading or construction permits.
Contractor installation
Verified drainage and waterproofing contractors bid on your scope. Payments hold in escrow until you approve each phase.

Common questions
Does water mitigation work require a permit?
Exterior grading changes and some structural waterproofing systems require permits. Interior sump systems and French drains often do not.
What is the difference between waterproofing and drainage?
Drainage manages surface and subsurface water movement away from your property. Waterproofing prevents water from penetrating your foundation or basement walls.
How do I know if my issue is drainage or foundation?
Our site assessment distinguishes between surface drainage, subsurface water table, and structural foundation issues.
How much does water mitigation typically cost?
French drain systems: $3,000–$8,000. Full basement waterproofing with interior drainage and sump: $8,000–$20,000. Exterior excavation: $15,000–$40,000+.
