Total Basement Finishing of Connecticut Showcases Two Incredible Basement Transformations!

Two Connecticut basements just went from “drab to fab”, in a matter of days with a complete makeover by Total Basement Finishing.

These homeowners had the basement previously finished with conventional materials, such as drywall and wood paneling. These organic materials are unsuitable for a basement because they tend to absorb water and support mold growth.

When in contact with moisture, basements finished with the same materials used in above grade rooms will eventually begin to develop that characteristic musty smell, which can indicate the presence of mold.

If the basement floods due to a plumbing accident, a leaky water heater or a sump pump failure, they will be literally destroyed. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control,  when materials like wood, drywall, carpet, and fiberglass insulation come in contact with water and don’t dry completely in 48 hours, they need to be removed and replaced.

Total Basement Finishing products, on the other hand, were specifically engineered for basements and are able to withstand the harshest basement moisture conditions, even basement flooding.

The cement-core, R-13 insulated wall panels are 100% waterproof and so sturdy you can hang book shelves, flat screen TVs and other fixtures without the need for studs or special hardware. The durable vinyl finish is easy to clean and maintain, and gives you the high-end look you'd expect in your dream basement room!

Our wide range of waterproof and mold-resistant basement flooring options, which include carpet tiles, vinyl tiles, faux parquet and faux wooden laminates, will let you create a finished basement look to match any décor and style.
