Making a Basement Clean and Dry Makes It a Usable Space

Going into your basement can be a frightening experience many of us avoid. Let’s face it: we miss damp spots in it and the crawlspaces. Many of us have even started stockpiling junk we don’t need. It’s just human nature to do so.

Summer is a great time to see what can be done via a cleanout. Getting rid of old junk can reveal water buildup, dampness, mold, mildew, and other fungus. With the longer hours and warmer weather, cleanouts can be scheduled at a time convenient for you.

This should be coupled with a thorough inspection after removing unused junk. The basement can then be dried and waterproofed by a company that knows what is needed and can spot problem areas in the foundation inside or outside, as well as seepage into window wells and crawlspaces.

Find a company that offers free evaluations, and you are not spending even one red cent upfront, yet you will know how to proceed affordably. A company that offers financing options with zero interest fees is even better!

The relief felt by having a clean extra space is enormous. In addition, the possibilities of this unused space are endless. A “Man Cave” can be added, as well as a possible Inlaw Suite, a game room, or a revenue-generating rental unit.

Since many homes do have a basement, this space mainly goes ignored or unused, and this is a space that will add value to a home if turned into something other than just a place for unused items to find a home!

It does need to be clean and dry, and sealed, with perhaps equipment installed to maintain it and keep it pristine before it can become the added living space. There is no need to have nightmares about your basement or crawlspaces anymore.

Start using rather than abusing it, and find joy in this underground space. It can be a glorious space, not something to be avoided, and clean, dry and junk-free does mean liveable!
