Moisture problems are the most common complaint of homeowners and most basements develop water seepage within 10 to 15 years. One out of five homes have elevated radon levels. Before remodeling the basement, deep seal your concrete against water seepage, water vapor, and soil gases like radon. This will provide concrete preservation.
This is the beginning to protect your remodeling investment. Even if your basement looks dry, moisture can pour in as invisible vapor and by evaporation of water, which seeps through capillaries. Covered floor and walls in the finished basement trap moisture and eventually cause damp or wet basement, musty odors, and molds or mildew.
Basement finishing is a cost-effective home improvement project. Seal all concrete to protect your investment and your family's health. Afterwards, seal or caulk any openings, gaps, or cracks. In the long run, your basement will be protected for future problems or continual refurbishment if the sealing is done as the beginning process in your remodel.

Except for Alaska, Minnesota is the most northerly of all the states (reaching lat. 49°23'55"N). The climate is humid continental. Winter locks the land in snow, spring is brief, and summers are hot. Prehistoric glaciers left marshes, boulder-strewn hills, and rich, gray drift soil stretching from the northern pine wilderness to the broad southern prairies. In the eastern part of the state are mountains, part of the Canadian Shield, from which iron ore is decreasingly extracted. The Vermilion and Cuyuna ranges (discovered in 1884 and 1911) are virtually depleted, and the once rich Mesabi range (1890) has also declined. South of the iron country, famous for its old-time boomtowns, lie rolling hills. In the south and the west are prairies, fertile farming country.
