What To Consider Before Putting Your Living Room In The Basement
By ERICA HAWBAKER
If you're considering transforming your basement into a living room, there are important components to remember during your remodeling endeavors.
You’ll want to be sure to inspect the plumbing and electrical and install or repair those specific areas if needed.
Insulation will likely have to be added for unfinished basements, and you should make plans to test the area for radon.
Additionally, a sump pump may be required to avoid water damage in your basement, and you'll want to research the building codes and safety requirements for your location.
