"They repaired my basement leak, but left me with another nightmare, when they completed the project, they left me with another nightmare outside problem. My backyard is completely flooded and has flowed into my neighbor's yard. When the job was completed I asked about the continuous water flow and was told give it a few days and you'll be okay. Well I gave it a week and my backyard is submerged under water, I can't go outside to use it, can't cut grass cause it's so soggy. I called for two weeks with no response, only the operator telling me that I was on high priority? Finally I get a call from Bruce and he asked if I could take pictures of my problem, I did and he called back shortly and said that's it was my problem and that they only do basement repairs, and that I need someone to come out and fix that, but I told him I didn't have that problem before he fixed my basement. And that they don't access outside of the home, and couldn't gage what would happen after the repair. He then said from the pictures I probably had hard soil and that might be my problem for the water staying up top, hard to believe for me but that was his answer, wasn't their issue, end of conversation. Well they repaired my basement and transferred it to my backyard, thanks Foundation System of Michigan!"

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
A basement remodel can often cost as much as adding another room. However, homeowners should consider the usefulness and ROI of a remodel.
