A basement adds valuable space to the home – a family room, home cinema, storage or a housing unit. Building it below ground poses unique challenges of waterproofing, ventilation and lighting that require expertise.
Excavation, shoring and waterproofing
Work begins with excavation and shoring to protect the ground and surrounding buildings. Waterproofing is critical – a basement faces water pressure from the ground, and failed waterproofing leads to constant moisture.
Ventilation and lighting
An underground space needs efficient ventilation solutions to prevent humidity and mold, and artificial lighting or light shafts for daylight. Correct planning turns a dim basement into a pleasant, healthy space.
Smart use
With correct finishing, insulation and storage solutions, the basement becomes a useful, inviting space. Sufficient ceiling height and functional planning are the key.
