Basement Flooring Installation
At Stamford Basement Remodeling Pros, we’re ready and waiting to assist all of our customers with high quality basement flooring installation work. The basement floor, like with the floors across the rest of your property, is obviously a big deal. It affects how the space looks, how it feels to traverse the area, and it’s one of the significant costs of a finished basement. Of course, it is different in some ways – a few of which we can go through below. If you’re considering renovating or remodeling your basement, you won’t find a better option to handle your flooring installation than our company. Find out more about this service, and our team, by reading on further below.
Durable Installations
Generally speaking, basement floors are more prone to problems than floors in other parts of your property. This isn’t because they’re improperly installed or because of any other service concern, it’s because they’re in a far more vulnerable position than any other part of your home. The flooring installations we create are built to last – they’re installed meticulously, through a highly regulated procedure, and this ensures that there aren’t any vulnerabilities or minute faults that could be exploited by local pressures. The importance of a proper installation is just one of the reasons why you’d be wise to go with an experienced basement contractor.
Material Choices
More often than not, basements are made from poured concrete, concrete blocks, and sometimes bricks, and these materials are sensible choices to offer protection and stability – but that doesn’t mean that you want the interior of your basement to look that way. If you’re planning on making your basement into a livable, comfortable space, you’ll want to choose something else, surely. Tiled and wooden floors are some of the most popular choices across the United States, but vinyl, laminate, and even cork flooring are all regularly seen too. If you’re using the space for storage, you might prefer a concrete floor, of course.
Floor Treatments
It’s well documented how water can be a major hazard for basements, but it’s always worth mentioning it again to really drive home the point. There’s no more area across the entirety of your home more susceptible to water damage than your basement floor – so protections need to be put in place to prevent issues from cropping up. The subfloor can be treatment with sealants and repellents, and a floating floor is not an unusual approach towards mitigating this situation either.
Sump Pumps
Of course, if you’re really concerned about flooding, and your basement has a particularly problematic history in this regard, you might want to think about a sump pump installation. These machines work by detecting when water is going to rise up to dangerous levels, and pumps the water out of the area before it can start to flood your basement or affect the walls. They come in a number of sizes and styles, and they’re really rather affordable – especially considering the cost of the damage that they might prevent.
