Basements

Basement remodeling adds living indoor space to homes by transforming neglected rooms into home offices, gyms or cozy family dens. Before basement construction or finishing can be conducted moisture hazards need to be resolved. A successful basement design will work around the given space to accommodate your needs and wants effectively.

Basement remodeling services:

• Design & Construction
• Basement finishing
• Moisture insulation
• Polyethylene sub floors
• HVAC
• Sump Pump

Because of the underground position of the basement, stale air, moisture and mold growth are common hazards. Holes and cracks in the home's foundation, improper insulation of exterior walls or faulty drainage system let in water responsible for the damp conditions of a basement. To prevent moisture related damage, building codes require new basements to be installed with polyethylene moisture barrier under slab floors. Polyethylene moisture barriers can also be fitted on top of existing basement floor before installing the new flooring material. Ceramic tiles are the perfect choice for basement flooring. Not only attractive to the eye, ceramic tiles are easy to clean and maintain, moisture resistant and durable under heavy foot traffic.

A basement design and renovation will incorporate an HVAC system to ensure high air quality and dry off excess moisture. A sump pump will also be useful in removing water should the basement flood during heavy rainfalls. This drainage device will mitigate costly water related damages to your flooded basement. Due to lack of natural light, a lighting scheme must be integrated as part of the basement design. Lighting will visually enhance the space available while providing the necessary illumination.
