A 2025 customer said drainage was a nightmare at their house, and that thanks to Joe and his team they could finally move on to their next project and finish the basement. That 2025 customer also said the team took the time to make sure the job was done right. A 2024 customer said Joe arrived when he said he would and the work stayed within the quote. That 2024 customer wrote that the floor joists were bad and the area was leveled and made safe again. A 2022 customer said Joe provided options and suggestions and even completed a few tasks outside the scope of the project, for a fair price.

Typical your area range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Hat City Construction L.L.C. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Not sure which you need? Start with an inspection — many reputable companies assess free, and independent assessments run up to $500.
The wall run getting the drain — a full 30×40 ft basement is about 140 ft.
Estimated range
$7,600 – $15,000
Typical waterproofing project around $11,300
Drainage was a nightmare at my house and thanks to Joe and his amazing team I can finally move on to my next project and finish the basement. They were very professional and took the time to make sure the job was done right. Would highly recommend.
Gave quote stated within quote arrived when Joe said he would. Barring how bad the floor joists were did an excellent job leveling the area made it safe again
I strongly recommend Hat City Construction. Professional, prompt, experienced, skilled and knowledgeable describe my experience with Joe / Hat City Construction. He took care, provided options and suggestions, even completed a few tasks outside the scope of the project. Great job for a fair price.
