Photo Album: Getting Basement Ready to be Finished - Portland, OR
This basement had been used as a general storage space. But over the years it began to be a game room/work out space. The years also brought forth cracks in the foundation that were leaking. Knowing how the space was used, and that they would want to have it fully finished in the future, they wanted the space to be protected against water damage. They scheduled a free inspection and chose to have a full WaterGuard drain system, TripleSafe Sump Pump, ThermalDry Radiant Wall Barrier, SaniDry Dehumidifier, and new Windows and window wells.
Wall Crack Through Paint
The wall crack was evident through the paint and had begun to leak once again
Small Window
The window was small, couldn't be used in an emergency evacuation, and didn't let in much natural lighting
Exterior Window Upgrade
A new Window well was installed with the large window
Interior Window Upgrade
The new window allows much more natural lighting in and provides a safe escape in an emergency
