Why live with a basement like this? It is not only unsightly and unusable, it is unhealthy as well. |

Basements are imperfect structures built in soils that vary. Water in the soils leaking into basements is a problem that has troubled homeowners for over 100 years. This water will enter the basement through the walls, floors, and joints between them. Over the years, contractors and engineers have developed a wide variety of methods to keep basements dry. Some of these methods are more effective than others.

A wet or even just damp basement is unsuitable for finishing or even storage. Moisture will get into the building materials and/or storage and cause mold, mildew, rot, bad smells, and damage to floor coverings, furniture, and stored personal items. Unfortunately, these things never seem to get better over time. Rather, basement dampness tends to get worse over time. So even if water seepage is only a once a year occurrence, it needs to be fixed before the basement is finished as wetness will likely increase over time.
If your basement has ever experienced any ground water seepage at all, then it needs a quality basement waterproofing system. Some homeowners install a system even if they have ever had any wetness, just to protect their refinishing investment.

| Choosing a contractor to finish your basement |
When looking for a contractor to finish your basement, do not look for the lowest price. Instead, seek out a contractor you can trust, who has a history of reliability and finishing jobs on time. Get references and call them. Be sure the contractor is not overloaded with work and that once they start the project that they will stay on your job until it is done.
Meet with the contractor more than once, to make sure you feel comfortable with them. Also, make sure the contractor returns your phone calls and is easy to communicate with.
A complete checklist and Guide to Choosing a Contractor is available HERE, endorsed by the National Association of Waterproofing and Structural Repair Contractors (NAWSRC).
