Don't be Embarrassed About Your Wet Basement!

There’s no need to be embarrassed about your basement.

Very likely what’s happening down there isn’t your fault!

Do any of the following statements sound familiar?

  •      You’ve told your children, “don’t let your friends in the basement”…
  •      You’ve apologized to house guests about the musty smell in your home or
    you’ve tried covering it up with air fresheners…
  •      You avoid going down there unless absolutely necessary…
  •      You constantly run and empty your dehumidifier, but it’s not helping…
  •      
  • You can’t even think about selling your home because of the condition of the basement…
  •      You don’t even want a contractor to see it...
  •      You want your spouse off your back to finally fix the basement!

Trust us, we won’t be surprised, we’ve seen it all and in fact, we love the challenge of a basement transformation! And best of all, we have an affordable and permanent solution to your wet basement woes!

Let’s take a look at two of our recent transformations:

Challenge: This older home showed evidence of water penetrating their unfinished basement. The problem has likely been happening unchecked for decades. The homeowners lived with a musty, damp smell not just in the basement, but throughout their entire home.

Although this basement only houses the home’s systems and laundry, these homeowners finally decided to find a permanent resolution to their leaky basement.

Solution to a wet basement

Now these homeowners are enjoying a healthier home and a clean & dry basement and a space to be proud of!

Challenge: These home homeowners were experiencing water penetrating their home on two walls in their basement. Over time these leaks ruined their finished basement space, creating a damp and unhealthy environment and seriously affecting the enjoyment of their home. They were constantly running and emptying their humidifiers to no avail.

Basement Before Waterproofing

They were missing out on family time normally spent together in their basement. Their entire home smelled musty and felt damp.

Solution: Our basement specialists waterproofed the problem walls, installed Thermal Dry Carpet and finished the walls off with EverLast® panel wall systems.

We were able to offer these homeowners a flexible financing option, so they didn’t need to dip into their savings.
