Basement Remodeling and Finishing

Basement Remodeling & Finishing

A Finished Basement is a Great Idea!

Basement remodeling is an effective way to add living space, such as a game room, family room, entertainment area, or even a guest room. Perhaps your growing family needs another bathroom or a clean, well-organized storage area. For some, a hobby room, bar, or man cave is the ideal basement upgrade.

      We had previously worked with another big name high priced waterproofing company and had a bad experience. We took a chance and went with D-Bug and we are so glad that we did. We had a much better experience with d-bug. They were on time, respectful, completed the job efficiently, and it looks great! We highly recommend them.

      D-Bug did a great job installing an interior french drain and sump pumps, an exterior french drain, and regrading around the house. I would recommend them to anyone with water problems. They sheeted everything off with plastic before getting started, and left the basement clean.

      We had a pretty serious problem with a large and aging retaining wall on our property.  Initially, we had trouble finding a company who would even consider the job, until someone recommended D-Bug Waterproofing. They were very responsive from the very beginning about our concerns and budget, and explained the process and what to expect from idea to build. They did everything possible to find local, quality resources to help keep material costs to a minimum. They did the job in the timeframe they promised and repaired the lawn they said would get torn up from the heavy equipment. The wall looks great! We would definitely recommend D-Bug to anyone looking for a professional and hard-working team, especially for challenging projects.

      Everyone that I talked to was great and they did an amazing job. They installed a sump pump in our basement that we desperately needed and I couldn't have asked for a better company to do the work. They did however break one of my decorations that I found the day after next to the sump pump that I was not notified about. It wasn't moved beforehand which is on my part, but it would have been nice to have been at least told about it.

      D-Bug team did a fabulous job on my 73 year old basement! The 8 person team arrived on time and went straight to work. They worked hard for 8 hours and completed the job in one day. They caulked and sealed the entire rear wall that had been leaking, then installed a french drain system along the inside of the rear wall of the basement (by jack-hammering out the floor where necessary). The walls were then lined with a plastic sheeting material to direct any water that may come in through the walls to the french drain. They installed a sump pump which was connected to the french drain to pump water out of the house. The entire system was covered with concrete to complete the installation. They also repaired one outside wall that had begun to collapse inward with a steel I-beam and a connecting anchor rod to pull it back to it's original location. They made sure that the area upstairs where they entered the basement was sealed off with plastic from floor to ceiling, the floor was protected both inside and outside. The team carried all the dirt and stone bucket by bucket outside the house to the waiting dump truck. When they left, you could not even tell that they had been there! They were very professional and hardworking. I would highly recommend D-Bug waterproofing to anyone needing a basement waterproofed.

Our Basement Refinishing Approach

Most often, we remodel a basement where our teams are at work repairing bowed or cracked walls, a pushed foundation, or mold and leaking water.

A repaired, mold and leak-free basement is an excellent candidate for refinishing, as you can be certain there will never be a water problem or mold again. Your new room is dry and secure.

First, a vapor barrier is placed on the foundation wall.

Secondly, the walls are studded from floor to ceiling.

We also insulate the walls (if the customer specifies).

We use mold resistant drywall, spackle and sand, then paint the walls whatever color you desire.

We can drywall the ceiling or install a drop ceiling, whatever you prefer.

But we don’t start there, at D-Bug we also install flooring, including ceramic tile, carpet, or linoleum.

Walk through your basement with us, and we will help you envision the dream space your basement can become!

Since 1980, D-Bug has been a locally owned and managed family business. D-Bug uses only our own highly trained employees to service customers. Also, D-Bug is fully insured to protect you, the property owner. Call us today at 1-855-381-1528 to learn more or visit our Contact Us page.

Add a Bathroom

When finishing a basement, it’s the perfect time to add a bathroom.

A basement bathroom is convenient for family and guests working or playing in the basement. They don’t have to run upstairs to reach running water or plumbing.

You can save on costs by installing a half-bath, with just a toilet and sink. If you turn your basement into a guest room, a full bath with a shower might be what you need.

Our experts do all the necessary plumbing, build the walls, and install the fixtures.

Located in Greensburg, PA, D-Bug Waterproofing has been serving families across the Pittsburgh region since 1980. We’re family owned and committed to doing our best for our neighbors throughout Western, Pennsylvania.

Our comprehensive services can take you from a damaged, leaky cellar to a beautiful basement with one call.

We get it done, and we get it done fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

1Should I waterproof my basement before finishing it?

Yes. A dry basement is the only safe place to build. Finishing over a damp foundation traps moisture behind the walls, which leads to mold and ruined materials. We waterproof first, then finish, so your new space stays dry for good.

2Can one company waterproof and finish my basement?

Yes, and it saves you a lot of hassle. Many homeowners juggle separate contractors for waterproofing, foundation repair, and remodeling. Our crews handle all of it in one project, from the vapor barrier to the flooring. One company, one plan, one point of contact.

3How do you keep a finished basement from getting moldy?

We start with a waterproofed, leak-free foundation, then add a vapor barrier on the wall. We frame with studs and use mold-resistant drywall throughout. These steps keep moisture out and give you a healthy, lasting room.

4What can I turn my basement into?

Almost anything you need. Homeowners choose family rooms, game rooms, guest rooms, home offices, and hobby spaces. Some add a bar or a home theater. We help you picture the space, then build it to fit your family.

5Can you add a bathroom to my basement?

Yes. A finished basement is the perfect time to add one. A half-bath with a toilet and sink works for most spaces, while a guest room may call for a full bath with a shower. Our crew handles the plumbing, walls, and fixtures
