Water in a finished basement can quickly change the plan.
For this homeowner, the next step wasn’t simply putting new finishes back in place. The affected area first needed to be opened up so the condition of the space could be understood and the project could move forward in the right order.
If you’ve noticed moisture, staining, or another change in your basement, it may be worth taking a closer look before covering the area back up.
