What You Should Know About Basement Remodeling
Most basements in the Spokane Valley are damp and musty, so therefore if
you’re turning it into proper living quarters it is important that your basement
insulation is done properly. This can be accomplished with the standard
insulation and a vapor barrier, but because basements are noted for being damp
you have to take care that this is done properly.
When you start your basement
remodeling project, install your inside walls with 2x4 and place your
insulation between the studs. After you finish this, run a vapor barrier over
the studs so that every thing is sealed off. This will take care of any moisture
that may cause mold or mildew. This is very important but there are other steps
that take just as much care. Your basement remodeling process should go smoothly
if you take care of the water problems in your basement first. This means
checking walls and floors. If you do have windows in your basement then you
should check to make sure the frames are sealed properly. Now is the time to
replace any major items such as main stream units or your electrical service.
Then you can install any drainage for toilets or sinks if you are going to
install them. You may have to run these drains under the concrete floor.
Next install any extra electrical outlets you may need and cable or telephone
wire. If you are thinking of installing a fireplace then you need to do this at
this point in the remodeling. This is the time for you to install the hearth and
the flue. If you want a wood burning stove, then you should also install that
now so you know how far it will protrude from the wall. You can also install any
ductwork for the ventilation if you require it. If you are putting in a bathroom
then you should also install all your fixtures at this point.
