I live in Dalton in Wayne County and I have been dealing with a damp basement for the past two seasons. I finally got serious about fixing it but every contractor I have talked to recommends something different. I feel like I am getting a sales pitch every time rather than an honest assessment. One guy spent more time talking about financing than actually looking at my walls.

What questions should I be asking these contractors to figure out if they actually know what they are doing? And has anyone in the Wayne County area found a company they felt was transparent and thorough from the start?

I live in Medina County and I have been getting quotes for basement waterproofing but I genuinely have no idea if what I am being told is reasonable or not. One company quoted me for an interior drainage system with a sump pump and the number was higher than I expected. Another said I only need crack injection and the price was much lower. I do not know if the cheaper one is cutting corners or if the expensive one is overselling.

Has anyone in Ohio had basement waterproofing done recently and are you willing to share a ballpark of what you paid and what the company actually did? I just want a realistic sense of what this should cost before I make a decision.
