| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Basement Waterproofing | From $2,500 | Complete basement waterproofing for Wichita homes: we trace the true water path (clay holding spring downpours against the wall, a shallow water table near the river plain, floor cracks, runoff from a flat lot) and build the right system: interior drain tile, sump pump, wall treatment and vapor barrier. |
| Interior Drain Tile System | From $50/linear ft | Interior perimeter drain tile installed beneath the slab edge: water is captured at the footing, channeled to a sump basin and pumped out. A proven year-round answer for Wichita basements where clay and a shallow water table push water through the wall, installed in any season. |
| Exterior Basement Waterproofing | From $95/linear ft | Exterior excavation down to the footing with membrane or dimple-board waterproofing applied directly to the foundation wall, plus corrected grading and downspout extensions. The most thorough fix for basement walls that seep after Kansas storms, done once and built to last. |
| Foundation Waterproofing | From $3,500 | Waterproofing for block, poured and old brick or stone foundations: parging and crack repair, membrane or crystalline treatments and drainage correction matched to your foundation type. Pre-1940 Delano and Riverside homes get solutions suited to aged masonry. |
| Foundation Crack Repair | From $450 | Epoxy and polyurethane injection for non-structural foundation cracks, plus structural repair options for wider or shifting cracks where clay swells in wet seasons and shrinks in drought. Every crack is inspected and matched to the right repair method, not a one-size-fits-all patch. |
| Sump Pump Installation & Replacement | From $1,200 | New sump pits, pump replacement and discharge line correction: properly sized pumps, sealed basins, check valves and discharge routing that carries water well away from the house and keeps up with Kansas spring cloudbursts without burning out. |
| Bowing Wall Repair | From $600 | Carbon fiber straps, steel I-beams or wall anchors to stop and stabilize a bowing or leaning foundation wall, matched to the severity of the movement and your soil. Seen where saturated clay and frost press on older block basement walls. |
| French Drain Installation | From $25/linear ft | Exterior drains installed along the foundation wall that intercept groundwater before it reaches the basement: properly graded gravel and pipe systems with fabric wrap, tied to daylight or a sump basin. A strong fit for Wichita's flat clay lots where water has nowhere to go. |
| Drain Tile Repair & Replacement | From $750 | Repair of collapsed, clogged or root-bound footing drains: many Wichita homes from the 1930s-1960s still run on original clay tile that failed decades ago. Camera inspection, targeted excavation and modern PVC replacement restore drainage. |
| Vapor Barrier Installation | From $3/sq ft | Heavy-duty vapor barrier sheets installed across basement walls and slab to block ground moisture vapor from the soil: sealed seams, taped terminations, sump integration where needed and a drier, healthier lower level for your south-central Kansas home. |
| Basement Wall Sealing | From $1,500 | Surface preparation, efflorescence removal and penetrating or membrane sealers for damp basement walls. Honest guidance included: sealers solve minor dampness, not hydrostatic pressure, and we tell you which problem you actually have. |
| Battery Backup Sump Pumps | From $900 | Battery backup systems that keep pumping when a Kansas thunderstorm knocks the power out, exactly when your sump pump matters most. Sized to your pit, with alarms and maintenance checks available. |
| Free Basement Inspection | Free inspection | Complete basement and foundation moisture inspection: walls, floor, cracks, sump system, grading and gutters checked, with photos and a written explanation of what needs fixing now, what can wait, and a straight answer if nothing is wrong. |
| Basement Mold Remediation | From $1,500 | Mold removal paired with the moisture fix that prevents its return: containment, treatment and remediation of affected surfaces, plus drainage or dehumidification for Wichita's humid summers. Musty smell diagnostics included. |
| Window Well Drainage & Repair | From $650 | Window well drains, liners and covers that stop wells from filling and dumping water against your foundation: a leak source homeowners rarely suspect and inspectors often miss, especially on homes with daylight basement windows. |
| Egress Window Installation | From $4,500 | Egress windows for finished basements: cut, framed, flashed and drained correctly so your new bedroom or living space stays dry. A natural pairing with waterproofing before a basement finish, popular on Wichita's ranch and split-level homes. |
