    Basement leak repair scopes that hold up

    Crack injection, interior drains, and exterior membranes solve different problems. Match the repair to how water enters and how your foundation was built.

    • Active flowing cracks may need injection plus drainage—not surface sealant alone.
    • Cove joint leaks often need interior tile and sump, not only wall patches.
    • Stone and brick foundations may need repointing before membranes are quoted.
    • Get multiple quotes that describe the same failure mode, not different assumptions.
