Basement waterproofing methods are fairly limited making choosing a solution a fairly easy task. Wet basement walls need and exterior basement waterproofing system. This method is commonly referred to as excavation. Water coming up through the floor or only seeping through the wall/ floor seams is a ground water issue which can best be solved with an internal basement waterproofing system. Sometimes a combination approach makes the best sense.

Pioneer Basement Solutions is a basement waterproofing company in business for over 30 years serving northeast Ohio.

The recent flooding in North Dakota is serving as an example of just how quickly problems like excessive basement moisture can escalate into a full-blown mold problem.

According to the state’s KXMC-TV, mold can appear in a home as soon as 48 hours after excessively moist conditions appear. And it doesn’t take a high-profile flood or major weather event to cause serious problems for homeowners. In many cases, elevated levels of humidity are sufficient to let mold thrive in almost any part of the house, especially in the basement and crawl spaces.

That musty basement smell is caused by mold and mildew spores growing on and in objects. Mold can even grow inside of a person’s body, leading to lung and sinus infections. Less extreme health conditions are also possible, including respiratory irritations and asthma.

Given the household damage and health problems that mold can quickly cause, it may make sense to consider taking steps to keep spores and moisture from getting a foothold in your home.

Let’s look at when it is probably not a good solution:

1. If your walls are already painted then basement waterproofing paint will not likely work. This paint works by soaking into the porous cement block material. Applying waterproofing paint on top of other paint will lead to big bubbles, flaking and loose chunks falling off because the waterproofing paint could not bond into the wall.
2. If your walls are not cement block. Basement waterproofing paint was developed for cement block. All other foundations, such a clay tile, will not take the paint correctly.
3. If you have actual water seepage issues. Basement waterproofing paint creates a “dam” and can allow water to stack up in your block walls. This can cause rot and decay that will lead to major problems later. Actual water seepage should be dealt with utilizing professional repair and solutions.

Basement waterproofing paint can work well for minor dampness issues that occur in cement block walls that are not previously painted.

The most popular “today only” discount a basement waterproofing company would use is the tactic of explaining there are gaps that open up in the schedule and they need someone to be on a 24 hour notice to fill those gaps. The offer is extended to everyone even though the basement waterproofing company representative may lead you to believe you are the only person getting this special offer.

The tactic of having an exclusive system is also popular. Patents etc… are used by many companies to differentiate themselves from the competition. They also will present many options but always revert to their “system” selling it like a one size fits all.

Put your basement finishing ideas on paper. A few key basement finishing ideas you should consider are what amount of storage you will need, how will the new space affect the existing space, and what you total project budget should be.

Many people overlook setting space aside for storage. What are you storing now? Do you need to have a sale or make a donation with what you have? Maybe you need better organization. Whatever the case, you should set aside enough space for all of your mechanical systems and at least 100 square feet for storage. Remember you may sell the home someday and you do not want your basement finishing ideas to be a limitation for future buyers.

Almost no one considers how their existing space will chage, or could change when starting their basement finishing ideas. Maybe you are creating an office space which will open up space you are currently using. Maybe you are moving your primary TV space to the basement and now you can transform your current TV space into a den or formal area.

At the top of your basement finishing ideas list should be a budget range. Be realistic. Costs to finish a basement can range significantly based on space and materials used so do your homework and determine what fits your budget so that you can prioritize how you finish your basement.

A recent article published by the National Association of Realtors stated that according to their research the average basement finishing cost is $51,000 and the return on investment was 90%.

Obviously the size of the area finished and the materials used will greatly impact your basement finishing cost. The least expensive method used is wood studs and drywall. At least up front. Because drywall and wood are very absorbent, they are havens for mold and mildew which cause damage. That damage will increase your overall basement finishing cost over time due to costly repairs.

The most expensive methods have been fabric covered fiberglass panels. This method was introduced about fifteen years ago and has recently seen a fall in popularity due largely to it’s modular look.

The latest materials available today give you all benefits of drywall, strong, washable, paintable and also give you mold mildew and water resistance for a lifetime installation. To investigate this further visit www.pioneerbasementsolutions.com and click on basement finishing.

Your basement finishing cost could range from between $10,000 and well over $50,000 so it is important to first plan what you would like to accomplish and set a project budget. A “wish list” may help you to determine what you want and what you need to accomplish your goals.

Basements are prone to have high levels of humidity due to the fact that they are the low point of the home. Humidity settles in the lowest point therefore most basements have issues with mildew, mustiness and mold growth due to inadequate ventilation. Wood and drywall, even treated drywall, can absorb water vapor which will lead to mold growth.

Consider using non permeable (water repellent/resistant) materials for your basement finishing project. The Basement Tuxedo is one such product introduced about two years ago. It is paintable, washable, seamless and rigid like drywall yet it is waterproof.

You should also consider a ventilation unit to eliminate the basement humidity rather than a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers re-circulate the same air over and over and can circulate bad air and spores. Humidity ventilation units will eliminate humidity while exhausting stale air to the outdoors creating an air exchange that results in basement air that is healthy and dry.
