reNew Home completed a gut renovation of this basement apartment. When we began, the apartment had been rendered unliveable due to mildew and mold brought on by high moisture. We discovered that the problem was caused by three factors: poor site drainage, lack of foundation waterproofing, and dew point/condensation problems. We gutted the entire basement, leaving only a few interior surfaces intact. We installed gutters to mitigate drainage problems, waterproofed the foundation walls to eliminate moisture entry, and installed airtight, vapor-impermeable rigid foam insulation to current codes to eliminate dew point/condensation problems and greatly improve the winter comfort of the space. We finished the apartment with mold and moisture resistant drywall and high quality laminate flooring. Per the customer's request, we used exclusively reclaimed fixtures to reduce cost and add character. The finished product is an apartment that is more livable than ever and commands a substantially higher rental rate than it did before.
