Basement in disarray
The Challenge:
The basement of this home had a chronic water problem. A previous contractor had done a wimpy repair and another contractor was planning to dig a trench around the room to add a pump system to allow water that came in to be pumped out.
The Idea:
Waterproof the project properly from the outside and finish the space properly. Regrade the ground to have a positive grade away from the home and fix the sprinklers
The Solution:
Repair the gutters, dig outside, and waterproof the foundations correctly. I am not a fan of letting water in then pumping it out.
The Details:
Levco ended up leveling the floor and adding new flooring, We waterproofed the outside and finished the interior including remodeling a bathroom. Electrical improvements were also made. We also added plenty of insulation. We discovered that the previous basement finishing was a DIY project by a previous owner. The walls of the bathroom were not attached to the floor.
