Price guide · updated October 2026
What homeowners typically pay across Summit, Stark, Medina, Cuyahoga, Portage, Wayne, Ashland and Richland counties, labor and materials included. Each service links to its own page with the details.
| Project | Typical installed price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Basement Waterproofing | ||
| Interior drainage system | $40–$100 per linear foot | Drain pipe and stone along the footing, carried to a sump. A full system around the whole basement runs $5,000–$17,000; most basements have 100 to 150 feet of wall. |
| Exterior waterproofing | $10,000–$15,000 per job | Excavation down to the footing, a membrane on the wall and a new footing drain. Full-perimeter jobs can pass $20,000; decks, driveways and landscaping along the wall add to it. |
| Crawl space encapsulation | $5,000–$15,000 | A sealed vapor barrier, drainage where water enters and a pump where it cannot drain by gravity. Size and condition move it. |
| Foundation Repair | ||
| Typical foundation repair | $3,000–$8,200 | What most homeowners pay across repair types. Bowing walls and settling foundations run higher. |
| Bowing wall repair | $5,000–$12,000 | Wall anchors, carbon fiber straps or steel beams along the wall. How far it has moved and how long it is move the price. |
| Steel piers | $1,000–$3,000 per pier | For settling corners and walls. Most underpinning jobs run $10,000–$20,000, depending on how many piers the load needs. |
| Crack injection | $250–$800 per crack | Epoxy or polyurethane injected through the full depth of a poured wall. Length, access and finished walls move it. |
| Sump Pump Installation | ||
| New sump pump and pit | $1,800–$2,600 | Cutting the floor, the basin, the pump and the discharge line. Harder jobs run up to $3,500. |
| Sump pump replacement | $650–$1,300 | A new pump in an existing pit. Pump size and the discharge line move it. |
| Battery backup pump | $600–$1,400 | Added to an existing system, with its battery and alarm. |
| Yard Drainage | ||
| French drain | $25–$50 per linear foot | Perforated pipe in gravel; a 100 to 150 foot run is typically $3,000–$4,000. Depth and where the water can discharge move it. |
| Catch basin | $200–$500 each | Plastic basin added to a new drain run. Concrete basins and standalone jobs cost more. |
| Buried downspout line | $250–$2,000 per downspout | Underground pipe carrying one downspout away from the house. Length of the run moves it most. |
| Regrading around the house | $1,000–$3,000 | Reshaping the soil so it slopes away from the foundation. How much soil moves and how much lawn is restored. |
| Gutters & Downspouts | ||
| Seamless aluminum gutters | $7–$14 per linear foot | Most homes run $1,500–$3,000. Two-story runs, roof access and the number of corners move it. |
| Downspouts | $8–$13.50 per linear foot | Installed with new gutters. Extensions and buried lines are priced separately. |
| Gutter guards | $6–$13 per linear foot | Contractor-installed screens and mesh. Branded micro-mesh systems run $15–$45 per linear foot. |
| Egress Windows | ||
| Egress window, new opening | $4,500–$8,500 per opening | Cutting a poured or block wall, excavation, the window and well, waterproofing and backfill. Wall type and the depth of the dig move it. |
| Window well cover | $120–$700 | Installed. Plastic covers sit at the low end, polycarbonate and steel at the high end. |
| Humidity Control | ||
| Whole-basement dehumidifier | $1,500–$2,800 installed | A dedicated unit sized to the space, with a condensate drain. Ducting and a condensate pump add to it. |
| Glass Block Windows | ||
| Glass block basement window | $300–$600 per window | Standard size, solid block, installed. The price per window usually drops when several are done on one visit. |
| Larger or custom glass block | $600–$1,200 per window | Custom sizes and shapes. Vents and dryer ports add to it. |
Typical ranges as of October 2026, from Northeast Ohio contractors' published prices and national cost guides. They are not quotes and they are not All American's price list. Your free inspection and written estimate give you the real number for your home.

Two basements on the same street can need very different work. These are the things that move a quote up or down.
Drainage and exterior waterproofing are priced by the foot, so one leaking wall costs a fraction of the full perimeter. The inspection should show you which walls are actually taking on water.
Block walls hold water in their hollow cores and usually get weep holes drilled along the bottom course. Poured walls tend to leak at cracks and at the joint where the wall meets the floor, which changes what the system needs.
A new pit cut into the floor, a larger pump, a battery backup and a water alarm each add to the total. A sound existing pit can sometimes be reused.
Drywall, paneling, flooring, built-ins and stairs along the walls add prep and restoration time. Clear access to the walls keeps the price down.
A wall that is bowing or a corner that is settling adds straps, anchors, beams or piers. The further a wall has moved, the more it takes to hold it.
Exterior work depends on how deep the footing is and what sits along the wall: decks, driveways, patios and landscaping. Permits and the utility locate come into it too.
A low number is only a good deal if it covers the same work. Put the quotes side by side and check each line on this list; when two prices are far apart, one of these lines is usually the reason.
Ask any contractor to put these in writing before work starts, including who pulls the permits and what the warranty covers.
Mostly because they are quotes for different jobs. One may cover a single leaking wall and another the whole perimeter, and one may include a new pump with battery backup while another reuses the old pit. Compare the linear feet of drainage, the pump and basin, the wall membrane, crack injection and the warranty line by line, and the gap usually explains itself.
Usually by a wide margin. Interior drainage typically runs $40–$100 per linear foot, while most exterior excavation jobs run $10,000–$15,000 because of the digging down to the footing, the membrane and putting the yard back, and a full perimeter can pass $20,000. Exterior work makes sense when a wall has to be rebuilt or the water is coming in above grade.
Yes. When water comes in along one wall and the others are dry, a partial system priced by the foot is common and costs a fraction of the full perimeter. It still needs a proper path to a sump, and it is worth checking the other walls for early signs like white mineral deposits or damp spots before deciding.
Far less. A buried line for one downspout runs about $250–$2,000 and regrading around a house about $1,000–$3,000, against $5,000–$17,000 for a typical whole-basement drainage system. When the water is roof runoff or a bad slope, those outside fixes can solve it on their own. When groundwater is pushing in along the footing, they help but will not finish the job.
Many were built with block walls, clay tile footer drains and window wells that were never drained, and decades of freeze-thaw have opened their joints. Block walls need weep holes along the bottom course, old coal chutes and windows need sealing, and tight stairways or finished rooms slow the work. None of it is unusual here, but it adds lines to the estimate.
