Foundation drainage cost

Foundation drainage cost in Solna

The cost of excavating and installing foundation drainage to stop damp and moisture problems in a basement or crawl space. In Solna, prices sit above the national average — labour and material rates in Stockholm County tend to push costs up.

What's specific about Solna

Solna is densely built with relatively few detached houses — those that exist sit mainly in Huvudsta, Råsunda and Bergshamra and typically date from the 1920s-50s. Houses of that age usually generate remarks on wiring, drains and windows rather than structure. Narrow streets mean scaffolding permits, limited storage space and occasional closures, adding cost to facade and roof jobs. Prices track Stockholm's, well above the national average.

What affects the price here

• Perimeter length and excavation depth
• Whether the foundation is sealed and insulated while exposed
• Backfilling with drainage gravel and filter
• Access for diggers and soil removal
• Re-landscaping the yard after the work
