Basement Finishing & Remodeling in Garnett, KS

Basements in Garnett and Anderson County

Garnett Basements: Start With Water

Many Garnett homes near the courthouse square and around Lake Garnett have older basements and cellars. They can be useful space, but they often come with lower ceilings, older foundation walls, and moisture that shows up after a wet spring.

We always deal with water before finishing. That means looking at grading and downspouts outside, the condition of the foundation walls, and how water leaves the basement today. Once the space is reliably dry, we recommend a finish level that fits it, from a full family room to a clean, bright storage and hobby area.

• Check grading, gutters, and downspouts so water moves away from the house.
• Evaluate foundation walls and the floor for active leaks or seepage.
• Choose wall and floor systems that tolerate a below-grade environment.
• Plan egress before calling any room a bedroom.
