Basement Tip of the Day

Tip #39. How can IR thermography inspections save potential costs in basement remodel projects?

Most basement remodels offer the best cost-savings in adding living space to a home because the structure is already built. Detecting moisture problems before the project allows for less expensive repairs and ensures that higher quality materials can be used without future fear of water damage and mold infestations destroying the structure, materials, or personal items and furnishings.
