On the day

The inspector arrives in the window you were given, starts outside with the gutters, downspouts, window wells and the slope of the soil, then goes through the basement wall by wall: the floor joint, cracks, the sump, any stains or crust, with moisture readings where the water shows. You see each problem as it is found.

The written sheet

Listed on it

The cause of the water, the recommended fix, linear feet of drain or number of cracks, the pump and backup by type, concrete removal and replacement, debris haul-off, any permit fee, and the warranty terms in writing.

Not on it

Plumbing or electrical work beyond what is listed, drywall and finish replacement unless stated, landscaping replacement after excavation, and mold remediation. Each is named so nothing turns up later.

Options

Where a cheaper fix is honest, such as a downspout extension or a single injection, it is priced next to the larger one.

Timing

The price holds for 30 days. Approve it and the work is scheduled, with no deposit taken before that. If a permit is needed, the start date follows its issue. You are welcome to get a second estimate first.
