Basement Remodeling FAQs – Wauwatosa, WI

How can I ensure my basement remodel stays moisture-free?

Older basements tend to have some level of moisture in Wauwatosa. We recommend waterproofing services to begin. If you decide to go waterproofing, using a sump pump can help and using a moisture remedied material for wallboard and floor tile is helpful. Some houses we install French drains or vapor barriers to keep everything moisture free and dry down the road.
