One of the best things about a basement is that the space can be whatever you want and need. The possibilities are endless, and the stakes are high. Basements are notorious for flooding, ruining treasured items and all the work that went into creating a finished basement.
Because of the risk of flooding, it’s important to take steps to ensure that water is not an issue. Make sure a basement is waterproofed, and additional measures (such as sub pumps) are taken to prevent future floods. Once the basement is dry (and is going to remain that way), hire an experienced contractor to finish the basement into a dream room. Decide what is needed in the space, such as:
– Master Suite
– Wet Bar
– Workout Space
– Display Shelves
– Guest Room
– Bathroom
– Laundry Room
– Fireplace
– Sports Room (with memorabilia display cabinets)
– Office Space
– Movie Room
– Play Room (with tons of storage for toys and games!)
– Craft Room
– Sewing Room (with storage for fabric and supplies)
– Mother-in-law Suite
