Is your basement as functional and useful as it could be? Having sub-par basement flooring may be one reason you are not getting the most enjoyment and functionality out of this space.
Basement floors may seem like their own world protected from the outside elements, but there is plenty of damage that can accumulate over time, especially to a concrete floor. As the house settles, cracks are bound to develop, and flooding of poor ventilation can cause unsightly water damage, both stains and spalling (flakes that have broken off the concrete surface). These damages make your basement less appealing, leading you to visit less, giving it greater opportunity for damage from neglect.
