There are few things that are absolutes when finishing a basement and #1 is don\u2019t finish a leaky basement. Make sure your basement is dry, no leaks or dampness issues before you get the work started with basement finishing. Have a professional waterproofing contractor like Pioneer Basement Solutions do an inspection of your foundation. The use of a professional grade moisture meter will indicate if there are any issues you may not be able to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since you will be covering the foundation walls with your finishing material, it is important to be sure they are dry first. Dampness in the foundation behind finished basement walls can lead to mold and mildew issues as well as damage to your finished basement materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
