Ok, our house was built in 1979 and nothing had ever been done down in the basement by previous owners. We have lived here almost 8 years now and my requests are finally able to be done! WE are fixing our basement and going to finish it!! Yeah!! We had began to finish it long ago until we realized that we had some serious water issues...and they have only gotten worse and created lots of mold and mildue down in the 'dungeon' as I have always called it. But, we did not have the finances to fix it. We had the Basement Doctors come out and they were very thourough and we were very impressed with them. They pointed out all of our problem spots, but really, they didn't have to.. we could tell. So the work begins on Monday and takes about 3 days to complete. This weekend we have had to take everything out of our basement, and throw some of it away, and other stuff I am bleaching down and cleaning really good... what a mess it is!! I am so excited to get this all fixed and there is a lifetime guarentee, so no more problems and we can have our sports room and play area for emma.
This is looking from the bottom of our steps to an area that will be finished. As you can tell we had lots of water and mildue built up.
This is the area by our crawspace. We are also going to have them fix this and they are going to make the whole bigger so we can crawl up there and actually store stuff in there when they are done. Right now, I can not see in it because of all the cobwebs, yucky!!! They are going to put protective stuff all around it and make the floor so we can move around on it.
This is the area by our sump pump. Our washer and dryer unfortunetly is also in the basement and about where I am standing to take this picture. We obviously are not going to finish this area, but we are going to see much improvement with no water around and the sump pump fixed up nicely. Wow, I can not wait for all of this to be done! It will be so nice! And, no more water or mildue!!
