There is a basement in your house, but it is cold and creepy. You are unlikely to use it for something besides storing your holiday jewelry and old things. If this is your situation, and you thought about repairing, for example, turning the basement into a game room or bedroom, then carefully consider your options and your budget.
How much does the basement repair cost: some things that will seriously affect the price
1. Repair in the basement: floods and high groundwater.
Depending on where you live and what can be considered typical weather in your region, your basement will or will not be prone to flooding. It is very difficult to turn the basements prone to flooding into a residential area: we need excellent layers of waterproofing, a waterproof pump, the movement of drains (possibly), sealants, etc. D. Work on the removal of water from the basement can be carried out on their own, however, calculating the problems and methods of solving them is a very difficult task.
2. Dnuery for the basement.
Disrespects are small cars that are often installed in the basement so that they all the time pull moisture from the air. Often, only the drainer is able to maintain a normal temperature in such a wet and cold zone as a basement. Desztygviki also help to get rid of the musty smells in the basements.
3. Safety in the basement.
In the basements, as a rule, there are no windows. And where there are no windows, additional precautions are needed in case of fire (fire extinguisher and fire alarm). It is also worth installing a carbon dioxide detector and make several tests for Radon and mold (before starting to make repairs).
4. Cellar design.
The basement is very difficult to turn into a room that does not resemble a basement. Therefore, design and design before major repairs are extremely important. Think about whether you can do something with the basement that will cause you a delight and you can use this room as you planned. For example, people often make an additional room in the basement, but not many are able to live in it, due to the fact that there are no windows.
5. Maintaining heat in the basement.
The basement heated, especially in winter, may be enough costly. At the stage of repair work, you should make sure that the insulation is in the current state, that it works effectively and that due to poor insulation you do not have to install more radiators than required. It is also advisable to think in advance about the means of heating of the basement, for example, warm floors.
