Photo Album: Total Basement Finishing in Greenville, KY
When most people finish their basement, they think that it'll be done forever. That what Burt F from Greenville, KY thought, too. He had his basement finished and a french drain installed last summer and thought that everything was going well until he began to notice a musty smell that got stronger as time went on. To Burt's surprise, he had mold growing on his brand new sheetrock walls. He knew something had to be done about this, so he gave Healthy Spaces a call and immediately scheduled an appointment.
Design Specialist, Mike McAtee, was to the rescue. Burt invited him into his home and they made their way downstairs. Mike did a thorough inspection and decided that the basement drywall needed to be replaced with something that would last. In order to fix the water problem properly, and protect finished walls in the future, it is necessary to replace the walls with the EverLast basement panels. The EverLast wall restoration system is the perfect solution to fix any water damaged finished basement. What's the best part about these walls? There is no drywall, paint, or wood to ruin if it gets wet. Burt knew this was a wonderful solution, and the crews got to work. He is thrilled with the outcome and can't wait to put the new, healthy space to use.
Install Begins
Before the EverLast Panels are installed, the wood studs are replaced with metal studs, which won't be ruined by a plumbing leak, high humidity, or even mold growth.
A New Asset
The panels are installed in sections, allowing for easy install, and if there's ever an issue, they are easily replaceable.
Mold was Hiding Behind the Finished Wall
Your wet, damaged, drywall basement walls can be a breeding ground for mold and odors. It's what causes the musty smell in basements, and causes the discoloration and rot of building materials.
Mold Growing is from Moisture
Although this looks like a beautifully finished basement, an enemy is hiding behind the wall- mold. When the new panels are installed, there will be no organic material for mold to grow on.
A Transformed Basement
The EverLast Panels combine the two most popular interior colors- off white and beige- laid ina desiner pattern over a slightly alligatored vinyl.
