Check before you hire

Four things specific to waterproofing work that separate a good estimate from a thin one. The buying guide explains each.

  • Gutters and grading checked before drain tile is quoted
  • Sump discharge route and village rules addressed
  • Battery backup included or priced
  • Warranty transferable to a buyer
  • Village of River Forest: Yes. Drain tile (interior and exterior), sump and ejector pumps, and grading changes all require permits. Contractors working in River Forest must hold a Village contractor license and bond, and the Building Department publishes that list.
