Even if your basement has never flooded before, the threat of a flood is ever-present in a basement. Groundwater is only half of your problem there's also a wide variety of potential plumbing failures throughout your home.
And when water floods upstairs, it's going to flow downstairs-- right into your finished basement.
You can protect your finished basement, starting now. Follow these two simple steps to make sure your basement looks beautiful-- and stays that way.
The Total Basement Finishing System uses only waterproof products. However, what you put in your basement after it's finished could still be damaged.
Basement water means big problems for your finished space. Flooding and humidity will lead to mold, rot, and odors in the space, which ruins the space as a comfortable living area. Even an ocassional flood can leave lingering problems, and mold can begin to grow in as little as 24-48 hours.
If your basement has ever flooded, you can be sure it's going to again. And even if your basement finishing products are waterproof, not everything you put in your finished basement will be.
What you can do:
A dry basement will be ready for finishing. Otherwise, you may be building a major problem that will emerge later on down the road. Call or e-mail us today to get a free basement waterproofing quote!
Quick Tip: When you waterproof your basement, follow up with a basement dehumidifier. Choose one that's self-draining and energy efficient, and your home will be dry, odor-free, and much more comfortable.
