Part 1: Eliminating Basement Moisture. One of the key aspects of refinishing a basement is making sure it's dry and warm. Bob talks with Larry Janesky of Basement Systems about the steps taken to keep the Melrose basement dry. An interlocking plastic underlayment works as a subfloor for the basement floor.
There's a lot you can do to prevent a flooded basement. Consider exterior or interior foundation drains, a backup sump pump or a generator to keep the pump going when the power goes out. Discharge gutter downspouts properly, slope ground away from the house and seal foundation flaws and cracksâthis will also help.
