BASEMENT CONVERSIONS
Damp cellars and wet basements can be converted to dry useable living spaces using a tanking or cavity membrane basement waterproofing system.
Basement conversions can add significant useable space to your home. A professional basement conversion can be used as an office, a playroom, a bedroom, a basement studio, an extra bathroom or a home theatre. A basement conversion can add up to 30% floor space to your home and will add value to your home (130-175% of the basement project cost).
