Should I Waterproof My Basement Before I Finish My Basement?

If you are planning to finish your basement, the best insurance policy you could possibly take out is to waterproof the basement before you fill it with furniture, drywall, and expensive flooring. While ACM Basement Waterproofing doesn’t offer basement finishing services, we do recommend to all of our customers that they waterproof before they finish. Even if you’ve never noticed a leak, the soil conditions on Long Island are constantly changing, and the water table can be expected to move every few years.

ACM offers finished basement waterproofing solutions, but many of our customers with finished basements contact us after they have suffered thousands of dollars in property damage. It makes sense to avoid this unnecessary cost by waterproofing before you finish. Learn how to waterproof a basement.
