List of 5 Mistakes to Avoid at All Cost: Basement renovation

1) Avoid Creating a Maze of Small Rooms 

If you have enough space in your basement then you’re good to go. You can use it in a lot of ways. However, if everything is cramped up like if the plumbing lines are exposed. Then you can modify the basement to hide all these electrical panel and plumbing lines. Don’t make a mistake creating a maze of a small room. Try keeping it open as much as possible. If you want a multi-functional room then you can opt for movable partitions or half walls.

2) Light It Up 

If your basement already has existing windows then that’s better however, most basements don’t have windows. If it doesn’t have then opt for artificial lighting. You cannot get the most out of it if your basement has poor lighting. It helps in building up a pleasant ambiance. Hire a contractor who has years of experience with a finished basement. He would plan a project as per your requirement and see what works best.

3) Forgetting that the Basement Is Still Part of Your Home

Most homeowners don’t give much attention to basement renovation. You can use the basement in so many different ways. Give it more attention to set the environment and make it more welcoming. You can embellish the basement with limited furniture, bright colored pillows, etc. Go for egress windows which would bring more natural lighting to your basement. It is evidently seen that homeowners don’t pay close attention to the comfort during a basement renovation. To increase the usability of the room give priority to your comfort. That’s why it is essential to plan ahead and avoid these mistakes.

4) Disregarding Moisture Control

Well, waterproofing is important. However, this won’t be enough to control the moisture of your basement. The moisture level is considerably higher in the basement area due to the difference in temperature inside the basement and the areas above the ground. You would see that that higher temperature would result in mold. Even you don’t see it, if the basement gives off a foul smell then it’s obvious that there is mold present there. It is advisable that you closely monitor the moisture level of your basement. We have noticed that homeowners don’t pay close to this issue. If you ignore this then it can cause a lot of damage to your basement leading to loss of financial investment.

5) Overlooking Existing Issues 

If you overlook an already existing issue then it can lead to more damage. For instance, the basement may have torn window seals, cracked walls, clogged drains, etc. overlooking these issues can cause more problems in the future. And for that, you need to spend more money. When you’re remodeling your basement carefully analyze each corner and see if there’s any crack that can water damage your basement.
