Basement floods every time it rains

What was stuck

The basement was unfinished and took on water with every rain, and the upstairs needed remodeling as well. It was a whole house of work, not one repair.

What we did

We ran the whole project start to finish, upstairs and down, so Brad dealt with us rather than with every trade separately.

In the basement that meant waterproofing and finishing the space: a large full bathroom with plumbing run underground and a heated tile floor, a large bedroom with a walk-in closet and a closet system, an egress window in the bedroom, and soundproofing around the bedroom, the closet, the bathroom and the utility room.

BeforeAfter

Before: cracked block walls, stained by water.After: the same walls, waterproofed before anything was built over them.

• Before: unfinished, with the laundry and the storage down here.
• After: finished, carpeted living space.
• The floor cut open for the lines that run beneath it.
• The new rooms framed in.
• The egress window that lets the new room count as a bedroom.
• The new bathroom vanity, before the faucets went on.

How it ended

The basement is finished living space now, and it stays dry when it rains. In Brad’s words:

“They were great! They made many conscious decisions to save me money. Also, made my headaches their headaches!”Brad, Bright, Indiana
