How would you use the extra space? Perhaps a family room? Extra bedrooms? Or that game room the kids always wanted? Go ahead, it’s your choice.
In his article “Here’s to your health!” , Dr. Allan Weinstein
states that damp basements are ideal
conditions which invite the growth of mold or mildew. As part of their reproductive
process,
molds produce spores which have been linked to respiratory problems such as asthma and
other
allergic symptoms. Waterproofing your wet basement with our patent-pending FASFLOTM
systems will help to assure you and your family a safe, dry, and healthy environment in
which to live.
According to an article published in the Practical Homeowners Magazine, waterproofing your
basement ranked 1st among the top 10 home improvement projects based on the percent of
investment returned if home sold in one year. On the contrary, the cost of not
waterproofing
your basement can penalize you up to 20% of the value of your home, or $30,000 on a
$150,000
home, when you sell the home, if it sells at all. As a matter of fact, in a study by the
National
Association of Realtors, 92% of prospective home buyers didn’t even consider a home
with a
wet basement. How important is the value of your home?
