A basement can be one of the most challenging spaces in a home to remodel, but the rewards are potentially enormous. In this latest volume in Taunton's bestselling Complete series, author Steve Cory explains how to transform a dank, depressing basement into a bright, open and usable living space. Like other books in the series, Basements Complete is largely a how-to book, but with some coverage of design and planning issues. The book covers the most popular remodelling approaches and projects for basements. Some of the projects-such as flooring, plumbing, and wiring-apply to other rooms in the house but are treated here with an eye toward basement needs. And there are also topics that apply specifically to basements, such as preventing mould and mildew, moving pipes up or over to make more headroom, bringing more light into a dark space, mitigating against radon, and sealing floors and walls.
