Rating
We hadn’t been down in our finished 97 year old basement for a long time. Didn’t know we had a dripping pipe and a clogged city waste pipe until the mold appeared on all walls through drywall. Called RAM and they were out next day. Completely gutted the basement. Walls, ceiling and floors. Also any soft items (including a pool table and sofa). They then washed/sprayed a solution everywhere, cleaned all vents and tile floor. What was important to me was their fast response. I would recommend them.
We were referred to RAM Restoration when water from our upstairs bathroom made its way through the kitchen ceiling below. AJ came out and immediately got to work removing parts of the soaked ceiling, setting up machines to dry the mess, and creating barriers to keep the room closed off. He was thorough and efficient and made sure we understood exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it. He came back each day following to test levels of moisture. Once all was dry by day 3, he removed the machines/barriers, thoroughly cleaned any mess left behind, and informed us of needed steps moving forward. Despite this whole mess being unexpected, it’s nice to have some peace of mind and confidence that the restoration part of this now ongoing project was done by best. I highly recommend reaching out to RAM Restoration should you find yourself in a similar position. You can trust this team to get the job done!
Highly recommend for mold restoration! We had mold in the ceiling & walls of 2 small rooms due to previous water damage. AJ & his team removed all the old material & took care of everything for us. It was efficient & thorough, and they answered all of my questions. These guys know what they're doing!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE
YOU START BASEMENT REMODEL
Inspect your basement
Mold prevention
Typical mold prevention techniques include using a paint primer and coating your walls with latex paint. Don’t forget to seal your floors as well with an epoxy or enamel paint for the surface in question.
Also, you want to maintain your basement humidity at or below 60 percent. Insulate cool surfaces, such as pipes, to prevent condensation. Invest in weatherstripping for your doors and windows to keep the humid air out. Lastly, you can also consider getting a dehumidifier.
Adhere to building codes
For example, in some areas, codes determine ceiling height. If your ceiling is too low, you may need to call a basement remodeling contractor to handle this issue. Also, since your project will probably need electrical or plumbing work, you may need to obtain the necessary permits beforehand.
Secure against floods
With all this in mind, your remodeling project may not seem as a DIY anymore. There is a lot of things to take into consideration, and they may go above your construction skill level. Contact RAM Restoration to ensure you carry out your basement remodel safely and efficiently.
WHEN SHOULD YOU REMODEL YOUR BASEMENT?
Remodeling a basement isn’t always a high priority. People usually choose to remodel their basements for two main reasons: structural issues or the need for extra space.
If your basement has structural problems or is contaminated with mold, you need to get to it immediately. In these cases, it is recommended to hire a basement remodeling company so you can resolve your issues safely and promptly.
Having an unfinished basement might make you consider remodeling. However, it’s important to know when to seek professional help. While you can handle some of the tasks on your own, we suggest hiring a contractor is for certain tasks, such as plumbing or electrical projects.
For those who need extra living space, turning your basement into something more than storage is an excellent idea. Can you do it on your own? Well, yes and no. An average person can probably carry out certain remodeling tasks on their own, such as painting the walls. However, if you plan to make structural changes, it’s better to call a professional.
