Assistance with estimating basement repair costs
I am looking for assistance in estimating repair costs for basements when sizing up potential rental properties. I have two categories of basements in mind.
Category 1: the basement shows some hairline cracks at the frost line; and some stair step cracks but no heaving, and only minor evidence of moisture..
Question: what type of repairs should I plan for? Is there a simple rule of thumb for cost per linear foot of basement wall to help me make the estimate?
Category 2: there is clear evidence of water seeping in at the foundation level. And some cracking of the walls, but no heaving.
Question: what type of repairs should I plan for? Is there a simple rule of thumb for cost per linear foot of basement wall to help me make the estimate?
Thank you for your help
