Is your basement simply used for storage? Or maybe it has no use at all? Although basements are often considered cold, wet and dirty, a finished basement has many benefits for the modern home.

Rather than leaving the space empty and unused, you can renovate your basement, turning it into a room of its own. It can be used for a wide variety of purposes and activities.

For example, you can turn it into a study area, a new bedroom, an office or a playroom for the kids to spend time with their friends. Having this extra space within the home will add a new character and enhance your overall living experience.

Why You Should Consider Developing Your Basement

In the modern housing market, many individuals are developing their basements and whilst doing so, discovering the many benefits that come with doing so. Here are some of the benefits of a fully developed basement.

  • Save Your Money in Utilities

Having an unfinished basement can make utility bills quite expensive. Excessive humidity in the basement may overdrive your air conditioner and heater, as it works to reach the desired room temperature.

Rising hot air and the lack of sunlight in the basement are also culprits of costly utility bills. By developing your basement, you can save hundreds of dollars annually, while satisfying your room temperature needs.

  • Add Value to Your House

Square footage is an essential factor when determining the cost of a home. And although a developed basement may not count in the square footage, it works as a significant investment with an estimated 70% return.

This will increase the appeal of your home to potential buyers, as well as add size to the property whilst you are living there.

  • Increased Room within the House

Homes can feel small with big families or out of town guests. So, the more space you have, the more comfortable day-to-day living can be.

Adding a second living room or bedroom can make all the difference in the world! Not to mention, more room for storage to reduce clutter and free up closets — that would typically be used to hang jackets or store vacuums and other cleaning tools.

  • Make the Foundation Stronger by Preventing Excess Moisture

Naturally, when soil and concrete floors and walls are in contact, dampness occurs in the basement. So, if you have dirt floors, poor ventilation, or water seeping through foundation cracks, excessive moisture can build up.

Prolonged and extensive water exposure can cause severe structural damage to the foundation and a deficit in your bank account. For this reason alone, developing your basement is a smart investment for the long-term stability of your home.

  • Reduce the Risk of Poor Air Quality

Mold thrives in damp places. And, as mold grows, it releases unhealthy compounds into the air. These compounds can be an issue to individuals who have sensitivities to these contaminants and are extremely dangerous to young children and the elderly.

Additionally, Radon is a natural, colorless, and odorless radioactive gas found in the atmosphere. Outside, it’s not a problem, but when trapped indoors it can significantly increase the risk of cancer when breathed in over a long period of time.

Summary

Overall, a basement renovation provides you with endless opportunities to expand your home, creating a whole new room based around your personal preferences.

A high-quality renovation will add significant value to your home and will also provide you with strong structural foundations that will withstand the test of time.

This new foundation will protect you from potentially harmful toxins, whilst also reducing bills when it comes to the maintenance and upkeep of your home.

With so many benefits, it’s no wonder that basement developments have become one of the most in-demand renovations on the market.
