This is Why It's Important to Waterproof Your Basement Before Finishing

Have you ever worried about hidden leaks behind the drywall in your finished basement? Have you ever thought about hidden mold? Chances are you have; and if you haven't, I bet you are now!

There are many things in our homes that can be damaging that we may not think of on a daily basis; and it is important to consider all of these before you start renovations. 

Pictured above is a beautiful finished basement in Oakville, Missouri. As you can see, this family has used this basement as a family room, tv room, and for entertaining guests.

What they didn't know was that they would be removing the carpet and half of the drywall because of a hidden water leak.

According to Angie's List, the national average for finishing a basement is over $30,000. Can you imagine spending all that money and then having to rip out the carpet and drywall like this family? 

If you are considering finishing your basement, I strongly recommend at least having a trained specialist take a look at your home and give you an estimate on the cost of waterproofing beforehand. It could save you a lot of money in the end!
