My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Dark spots on basement floor

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

New build about a year ago. Notice the concrete is darker is some areas and run a dehumidifier. Read where if you put aluminum foil down and seal it with tape you can see if there is humidity on the inside or on top. When I took it aways I noticed a square dark spot on the floor. Any suggestions on what steps to take
