Get Moisture Under Control

Basement finishing is all about managing moisture. Waterproofing and waterproofing materials keep water from seeping into walls, floors, and ceilings. These products are designed to work together to form a barrier against moisture penetration.


If you can successfully manage the humidity, you can build virtually anything in the basement. Even features that typically aren't supposed to go in a finished basement—wall-to-wall carpeting, for example—can be added without much trouble.


Minor moisture problems can often be solved with water-resistant paints.
