When you think of a basement, what comes to mind? Do you picture a dark, damp, and dreary cement enclosure? If you do, you are probably not alone. But perception does not have to be reality. Don’t settle for what you think a basement should be. With the right design, some carpeting and a little furniture, you can turn that dark and dreary basement into a bright living area. But what about the damp part?
Well, that can be fixed with a little basement waterproofing, which involves a combination of sealing and finding drainage solutions.
- Find Risk Factors: These include cracks in the foundation and floor, improper drainage around your home, and gaps in between the floor and walls.
- Seal any cracks or gaps and consider installing French drains to correct the drainage issues.
- If you are considering a do-it-yourself waterproofing, consider that fewer then 20% of homeowners are successful at waterproofing their own basements. But when professionally waterproofed, your basement will function the same as any other room in your house.
