Feeling cramped but reluctant to move? A basement conversion is a practical solution for small homes, especially for growing families living in London. ABS Basement Systems, a leading basement refurbishment company based in London and the South East, can assist you at every stage of the process, from addressing moisture problems to completing the conversion without shortcuts. Here’s why you should consider an upgrade to your home:
Minimise Clutter
A regular declutter is a must if you live in a small home. However, there are only so many possessions you want to throw out or donate. This is where basements and cellars come in handy, offering organised storage space for the belongings you want to keep without crowding your living areas. With proper basement waterproofing, you can ensure these items are kept in a dry, secure environment, free from damp and mould.
Add an Extra Room
Transforming your basement into a new room can make a world of difference to your living conditions. Here at ABS Basement Systems, we specialise in an array of basement conversions in London, including additional bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, or even entertainment lounges. Each conversion is supported by the most effective and durable basement waterproofing systems, keeping your new space dry and comfortable.
Fixing Damp or Mould Issues
Repairing your dark, damp, unused basement might not be top of your list, but consider this: living with damp and mould is not just unpleasant, it can also affect your health. Damp and mould in homes can produce harmful allergens, irritants, and toxins, increasing the risk of health problems, particularly for those with underlying conditions or weakened immune systems. Early intervention by basement conversion specialists can eliminate these health risks permanently.
Increased Property Value
A newly renovated basement will add substantial value to your property. This added space can increase the appeal of your home to potential buyers, offering them additional living areas like extra bedrooms, home offices, or entertainment rooms. Legally, you must disclose any mould or flooding issues to potential buyers, making an unwaterproofed basement a challenge to sell. In contrast, a waterproofed basement signals to buyers that your home is well-maintained and enhances its overall desirability.
