Steven, if the crawls are both at the same height as the system you currently have in your basement, they can be waterproofed and tied into the existing sump pump. You will have to decide on the monetary approach. Most homeowner's will elect the french drain method. It is alot cheaper then excavating around from the outside. Basement waterproofing companies normally charge by the foot, that is how many linear feet around the perimeter of the crawls. My advice to you is to get estimates from several different companies. Check with the neighbors. They will usually be more than happy to discuss the matter with you. Ask them,"Who installed your system?" The companies I have worked for got most of their work from "word of mouth" references. If you choose the inside method, the work is going to be the same. Choose wisely. Ask the company what and where did they do their work. Ask them what type of guarantee they offer. Questions do not hurt. poor workmanship does! |
