FAQ’s
How much does it cost to waterproof my basement?
Repair costs vary depending on the type of work required. Waterproofing a crack in your foundation wall may cost as little as a couple hundred dollars. If your problem is more extensive such as leaks through floors or wall/floor joints (cove), the installation of drain tile may cost several thousand dollars.
How long will it take to repair my basement?
Waterproofing a crack in your foundation wall takes hours - not days! Installation of a drainage system will take from as little as 1 day to several days depending on the scope of the project.

Should Seitz Bros. fix my leakage problem before I sell my house?
