Q: What are the downsides of a wet room?

• <div><p>There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wet-room-offers-versatile-bathroom-design.htm">downsides to a wet room</a>, the most important of which is the risk of mold growth from the moisture and humidity. Standard bathrooms can have the same issue, but wet rooms are more likely to experience problems because water is less carefully contained. You also have less privacy since the entire bathroom is open, and the room must include waterproofing, which makes wet rooms more expensive to install than regular bathrooms.</p></div>

Q: How do I prevent foundation cracks?

• <div><p>The first step to preventing foundation cracks is to repair any current ones. When one crack forms, it becomes more likely that a second crack will follow. A few other tips include performing regular foundation checks, cleaning spouts and gutters, and installing exterior drains if needed. For those living in a hot and arid area, you should water your foundation every other day.</p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to waterproofing the basement?

• <div><p>Some basement waterproofing methods can actually cause your water or moisture problems to get worse, which is why it&rsquo;s so important to call in a professional who knows how to solve your underlying issue and use the appropriate waterproofing methods. An example of this would be applying latex waterproofing paint to the insides of your basement walls without fixing the water issue outside. Doing so can trap moisture in the basement walls, which can promote mold growth, peeling paint, and even damaged concrete. However, when done by a professional, the only downside to basement waterproofing is the up-front cost. </p></div>

Q: Why does my crawl space smell like a sewer?

• <div><p>A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor. </p></div>

Q: Where should I avoid using a dehumidifier?

• <div><p>One handy thing about whole-house dehumidifiers is, once installed, you don&rsquo;t have to worry about placement or changing the dehumidifier&rsquo;s position. But if you are using a portable dehumidifier, we suggest keeping it away from walls, vents, and furniture. It needs a central, unobstructed spot with access to lots of air to do its job.</p></div>

"We had an unfinished basement that had rough in plumbing already done and was already insulated by the builder. We used Craftsman Basements to create a beautiful living space instead of a messy storage area.
Craftsman transformed this space into a bar/eating/kitchen area with floor tile and dark cherry cabinetry a sink, dishwasher, and fridge (we provided the dishwasher and fridge). We also have a nice bedroom with walk-in closet and beautiful window, a hallway, tiled shower/bathroom, living area with room for recreation (we have a full sized air hockey table) a clever reading nook with its own light under the stairs, wrought iron staircase and comfortable soft carpet. We also have 2 small unfinished areas for storage.
about Overall the work was done in a timely manner, Matt the owner and Ben the work supervisor went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the final project. Their workers were polite, timely and completed what was expected on the day expected. We are very happy that we went with this company and are enjoying our new space. They took extra care to line our driveway so the dumpster didn't scratch or damage it and the workers had a portable so never any reason to come upstairs. They came and went without bothering us but the workers were also accessible when necessary. The owner and supervisor made sure we knew what to expect from week to week. They completed all work in about 2 months give or take a few changes we requested that added a little extra time.
