Upgrading an underground enclosure into a granny flat unit might be a
cost-effective fitting, yet somehow, sustaining it could possibly lead to a
handful of difficulties. With this in mind, here’s a rundown to help you make
your underground room modification livable and, of course, comfortable.
Dealing With
Water-Related Problems
The most frequent challenges involved in putting together a
building below the ground are water-related. In fact, even an underground
enclosure built in the driest of land might just at certain times flood with
water during occasional storms.
That being said, it is never recommended to place carpets
and upholstery, or even timber flooring as they simply provide inadequate
moisture protection. Instead, go for floor tiles or perhaps, thick cement slabs
for optimum protection from seepage.
To shield your basement structure from moisture coming from
the enclosing terrain, keep those adjacent gutters a few yards away. In
addition, reduce the greenery located nearby. Steer clear of just about any
undesired moisture-related problems during the wet season by inclining the
ground away from the basement.
