Repointing and Waterproofing Fieldstone Basement in MA

Repointing and Waterproofing Fieldstone Basement in MA

Hello,

I am looking to re-point and waterproof a fieldstone basement. Rough dimensions are 34x40x6. There are many areas with crumbling mortar, and areas where there is clear evidence of water penetration, but nothing too serious. There are also a few areas where the fieldstones were replaced with cinder blocks.

I am seeking to have all of the crumbling mortar removed and replaced, and then have the basement waterproofed. What range of pricing should I expect in north east MA? I understand that a site visit would make this a much easier thing to estimate, but I'm seeking past experience from people who have done this type of remediation on your typical New England field stone foundation for a 120 year old house. Any insights provided would be greatly appreciated!

     @Doug Landry Did you ever find anyone to do this for you? I am in the same boat now (only with a little more water than you seem to have had)
