Buck Buckley's Total Basement Finishing Case Studies: Water Damage in Grayslake, IL
Challenge
These homeowners in Grayslake, IL had, had water flood their finished basement. Even though it wasn't much water that came in, they had carpet for flooring and it ruined all of it. They had to rip all of the carpeting out and put a dehumidifier in the basement to help bring the humidity level down. They were afraid that they could have another flood, but next time they might not be as lucky and only have a little water come in. They didn't know what all of their options were, and they were starting to think that they would just have to rip everything out and replace it if they ever had a bad flood.
Solution
We meet these homeowners at a Home Show in Grayslake and after learning about our moisture and mold resistant materials, they knew they found the solution to their problem! They had one of our design specialists out for a completely free design consultation and he explained that we not only have moisture and mold resistant flooring but walls as well. We didn't need to remove everything that they had in their basement to waterproof what they had down there now either. They were ecstatic when they learned that they could put our moisture and mold resistant flooring in and replace the lower three feet of their drywall with our moisture and mold resistant EverLast Walls. This way if they ever get a bad flood, they will never have to worry about ripping everything out again!
