Tell Us About Your Basement

A few plain details make the hand-off useful. Tell us your street or neighborhood, roughly when the water shows up and where it appears: along the bottom of a wall, through a crack, near the sump pit or out of a floor drain. A line about the house helps too, such as a poured or block foundation, or an older stone basement in a neighborhood like Germantown.

What you send goes to one independent local contractor and no one else. That business calls you, sets up a time to come out if you want it to, and writes up any estimate. The price, the contract and the work all stay between you and the contractor.

• No bill from us, ever. Homeowners never pay this site, and it never hands homeowners money, gifts or discounts. Contractors may pay it for advertising, and for now that runs as a free trial.
• Not a contractor. This site doesn't do basement work, visit homes, quote prices or sign anything. It also stays out of insurance matters; for coverage questions, read your policy and ask your agent.
• Your own homework. Ask the contractor which local license it holds, whether it's from Louisville Metro, Jeffersontown, Shepherdsville or Oldham County, and confirm it with that office.
• Plumbing is separate. Any plumbing part of the job, such as a sewer tie-in, needs a Kentucky-licensed plumber and a state permit.

If water is coming up through a floor drain right now, that usually points to a sewer backup rather than seepage. Anywhere in Jefferson County, MSD takes those reports around the clock at (502) 540-6000. Outside the county, reach your own sewer utility.

Prefer to start with numbers or a quick self-check? The cost calculator gives a rough national range, and the wet-basement checker walks through five short questions.
