Before & After Photos

This homeowner had a lower level room in their home that was damaged by water infiltration.  Northland removed the lower damaged portion of the (drywall) walls about 32" from the floor.  Once the walls were removed we installed a sub floor drainage system "WaterGuard" and "SuperSump Plus" to protect the space from further water intrusion. Once the space was protected from water the walls were restored using our "Everlast" wall panels.  Everlast wall panels are a cement board with a vinyl finish, it is all inorganic so it will not support mold growth and will not be ruined by a surprise plumbing leak, should one occur in the future. The last step to restore this room to better than original was to install our "Thermal Dry" carpeted floor tiles.  These floor tiles are great for basements and make a big difference in the comfort of the floor.    

If you're planning to create a finished basement, our dropped ceiling system is an excellent investment. The finished ceiling will hide unsightly framing and fiberglass insulation, while still providing easy access to overhead wiring, plumbing and ductwork.

While many standard ceiling tiles are made from cellulose-rich materials that can attract mold and sag over time, our ceiling tiles are made from inorganic mineral wool. They won’t attract mold or be damaged by moisture. In fact, they come with a 30-year warranty against sagging and mold damage.

Our insulated ceiling tiles will help make your basement more beautiful and more comfortable. Reduced sound transmission upstairs is another notable benefit.

After taking care of the ground water issues the lower portion of the walls were restored using mold proof EverLast Wall Panels. These panels are cement board, covered with a textured mold proof, washable, vinyl finish, and are backed with a 50 Year Warranty. This customer also chose one of our water resistant flooring systems, ThermalDry Carpeting. 

Basement finishing is the process of transforming an unfinished basement (the original basement when the house was built) into a livable, usable space. A re-finishing project involves updating a previously finished basement that has incurred water or moisture damage. The end result is the same: you want a healthy, comfortable environment. By starting with the right products and materials, you can ensure your investment in a remodeled basement is money well spent.
