Things to Consider When Refinishing Basements

• There are different construction methods when it comes to the way your basement is built: Older homes may have clay or stone walls that aren’t as sturdy as newer materials.

• Some homes have a crawl space instead of an actual basement.

• Builders also sometimes use precast panels when they build a home. Precast panels are strong, but they can still succumb to water leakage.

• Concrete blocks or masonry are often used as an inexpensive basement foundation, but they have a tendency to keep water in their material if it gets in.Am

• The most common basement foundation is poured concrete, which is a preferred method for builders. Concrete basements are durable and the only way for water to get in is through cracks in the foundation.
