Where water is collected
The proposal should show where water enters the system — wall, cove joint, below slab — not just that a system is being installed.
Second estimate and alternative
A second estimate shows whether two scopes actually cover the same job: the exact drainage length, the sump and discharge work, wall treatment, restoration, maintenance, warranty and final installed price. We inspect the property and price the work in writing.
What this page is
This page does not describe or rate 802 Waterproofing. It exists for one purpose: if you are comparing basement or foundation proposals in Greater Burlington, you can request a separate inspection here and read the two written scopes side by side.
Before choosing a contractor
The proposal should show where water enters the system — wall, cove joint, below slab — not just that a system is being installed.
Follow the water to its end point. Where does the discharge terminate, how far from the wall, and can it return?
How the line drains between cycles, and what happens when the outlet is buried in snow or frozen shut.
Pump models, backup capacity, alarms, service intervals, consumables and future maintenance costs.
Linear footage, pump count and pit construction — the quantities behind the number at the bottom.
Coverage, exclusions, transfer terms and which company stands behind the complete installed price.
Questions for the estimate
A useful proposal should answer these questions without relying on a brochure or verbal promise.
Start another estimate requestWhere will collected water discharge, and how far from the foundation?

What pump capacity was selected, and for what lift and pipe run?
What happens to this system during a power outage?
Is a high-water alarm included, and does it notify anyone remotely?
What is excluded from the price, and what could become an additional charge?

802 Waterproofing comparison FAQs
Services, coverage and contract terms come from the company providing your proposal.
Compare the pit, not the pump. Whether a new basin is being set, what drainage feeds it, the lift and run the pump was selected for, whether a dedicated circuit is included, and what backup and alarm come with it. Those differences are usually larger than the pump model.
Where it terminates, how far from the foundation, how it drains between cycles and how it is protected in winter. In Burlington, City guidance also requires that sump discharge stay on your own property and not connect to the public sewer or reach the right of way.
Yes. A homeowner can request an inspection and a written estimate from any company at any time, including after another proposal has been received. A separate inspection shows whether two scopes cover the same drainage, sump, structural, demolition, restoration and warranty work.
