Waterproofing insight from Gotham Home Services — NYC & Long Island.

Interior systems (drain tile + sump pump) start around $4,000 for a typical NYC basement and handle water once it's already in.

Exterior systems (excavation + membrane + drainage board) start around $12,000 and stop water at the wall — the right answer for chronic leaks.

Crack injection ($500–$1,500) is the fix for a single hairline leak.
