Buck Buckley's Total Basement Finishing Case Studies: Basement Flooded and Everything Had to Go in Menomonee Falls, WI
Challenge
These homeowners in Menomonee Falls, WI already had a finished basement that had been done by the previous homeowners. Recently, when we had really heavy rains, their basement flooded and everything got water damage. Right away they had a mold remediation company come out and take a look at their drywall and flooring. They were told that they needed to remove everything and start from scratch with their basement project. After having the remediation company remove everything that was damaged by water, they were afraid to refinish the basement and have this happen all over again the next time we get heavy rains. However, their adult son had been living in the finished basement so they needed the space to be finished into not only a livable space, but they wanted to be sure that it would be a safe and healthy environment as well. They also knew that even without the basement flooding, the basement environment tends to hold much more moisture than the rest of the home does, so they started doing some research and found our moisture and mold resistant products.
Solution
They gave us a call right away to set up a completely free design consultation with one of our design specialists to learn more about our moisture and mold resistant products. Our design specialist, Chris Powers, met with them and helped them put together a design and layout that met everything they were looking for while keeping it within their budget too. They fell in love with our warranty backed moisture and mold resistant products, and couldn't wait to get their basement project started! Our team created this spacious rec room for their son to utilize as a space to call his own with our EverLast Vinyl Walls, Linen Ceiling Tiles, and ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring in the color of Walnut. Now, their son finally has a space to call his own again and they can rest assured they will never have to go through this again, even if their basement does flood again!
