The rear of this Central Street Neighborhood yard floods regularly during heavy rains. Rather than fight mother nature, Prassas Landscape Studio created a rain garden to store excess stormwater until it can percolate into the soil. The rain garden is also fed by the roof’s runoff and basement’s sump pump through a contemporary steel runnel. Stone steppers penetrate a curved wall to lead to the back firepit seating area. The upper terrace stairs were modernized and the lower terrace was reconfigured. Darris Lee Harris Photography

Remediate excessive moisture Although moisture can appear as condensation on the inside of basement walls and isn’t a difficult thing to resolve, serious water problems have their source outside the basement. Thus, inexpensive interior “fixes” such as sump pumps or dehumidifiers will mitigate seasonal dampness to a degree, but living spaces may still smell musty and be plagued by mold. Increasing sunlight and ventilation is always welcome, but to keep moisture from entering, you’ll need a solution that stops water before it gets through the basement walls.

The photo depicts a basement space in the process of being framed, showcasing the foundational work that is taking place. The framing provides the structure for the basement, determining its layout, size, and overall design. The photo shows an intricate network of support beams, studs, and joists, all carefully positioned to create a solid and sturdy foundation. The framing work appears to be well-executed, with straight lines, level surfaces, and proper alignment. The use of high-quality materials, combined with skilled craftsmanship, is evident, creating a dependable and long-lasting foundation for the basement. The framing serves as the starting point for transforming a blank and unassuming basement into a comfortable and functional living space, offering endless possibilities for customization and design.
