Basement Finishing
Basement Finishing
How do you know if basement is dry enough to finish or remodel?
If there are no signs of water infiltration you are good to go. If there is any dampness, standing water or cracks in the wall or foundation, have your basement inspected by a waterproofing professional before investing in finishing your basement.

How do you protect against moisture when you finish a basement?
Do not wait – install dry basement system. These systems often include water removal from your foundation and include dehumidifiers to keep the moisture level low. When you do build, special moisture resistant building materials designed for moist basements are available or traditional building materials can be used with appropriate treatments and/or plastic wrap around organic components.
