Scope being priced
This guide is for a quote to diagnose and repair a leak path at a foundation crack. The scope may be a localized interior injection, exterior access to the crack, or a referral for structural assessment when the crack suggests movement.
What changes the price
- Crack length, location, width, and whether it can be reached from inside.
- Removal and replacement of finished wall materials that block access.
- Whether the diagnosis points to a stable leak path or possible structural movement.
- Exterior excavation, depth, soil conditions, and restoration if outside access is required.
- Related drainage corrections needed to keep water from loading the same area again.
What a quote should itemize
- The observed crack and the evidence that it is the likely water-entry path.
- Preparation work, injection or sealing method, and access from inside or outside.
- Any finish removal, protection, cleanup, and restoration included in the scope.
- Conditions that would trigger a structural-engineer referral or change in method.
- Warranty terms that identify exactly what repair is covered and what is excluded.
Red flags in a quote
- A repair method is named without explaining why the crack is considered stable.
- The price omits whether finished surfaces will be opened, protected, or restored.
- A contractor promises to address structural movement with a sealing product alone.
- The quote gives a total but does not identify the crack, access method, or exclusions.
