Your Basement is Valuable Space!

Basements often develop problems over time. Moisture seeps through, humidity grows, musty odors linger, sometimes cracks develop in walls or floors. As a result, many families ignore the basement and use it as little as possible. Perhaps there's a laundry room in the basement or an area for off-season storage.

Why do homeowners avoid the basement and delay repairing issues that develop? Many assume the solution will be costly or they haven't budgeted for repairs. Sometimes the home repair budget goes to other issues that seem more urgent.

The cost of postponing basement and foundation repairs is high. If moisture or water intrusion are allowed to go unchecked, symptoms can worsen, mold develops, wood structures soften and rot, and the unhealthy environment downstairs affects the upper levels of the home. If valuable personal items are stored in a basement, those important documents and mementos can be permanently ruined. If a basement is prone to flooding due to improper drainage, the risk can be even worse!

The fact is your basement is valuable space you coudl be using without risk to your furnishings and personal belongings. You could finish part of the basement and use it as a family room, exercise space, or home office. Even if using your basement simply for storage, keeping the below-grade space in your home dry and clean will preserve your valuable belongings.
