The first concern before finishing your basement is keeping it dry. This means protecting your basement not only from flooding, but from water vapor as well. A wet or damp basement is unsuitable for finishing or using at all. Moisture will get into the building materials and cause mold, mildew, rot, unpleasant odors, and damage to floor coverings, furniture, and personal items and into the air on the first floor.

This is unhealthy for your family!
