Moisture in the basement is not something to live with
If you have a basement, it's likely to be damp too.
Virtually all basements built before the 1960s have rising damp. The cellars of old houses are leaky and were previously used only for storing coal and coke, tools and for boiler rooms and weight rooms.
Therefore, the humidity was not a problem.
Today, many people want to use the basement for other purposes - washing and storing clothes, living. When you want to change or have changed the use of the basement from its original purpose, you will most likely have a moisture problem.
Therefore, it is a good idea to have the moisture level measured.

There's money in a dry cellar
If you permanently remove or reduce the moisture in your basement, the financial benefits are obvious.
The magazine "Penge & Privatøkonomi" has visited a family in Copenhagen's North West district, who has invested about 350,000 DKK in removing moisture in the basement of 95 square meters. The basement was then fitted out so that the family could use it for various activities. According to an estate agent, this improvement has increased the value of the house by around half a million euros, even though the basement is not approved for habitation.
The cheap square meters are often hidden in the basement of the house. These are square metres that you can enjoy and profit from when you sell them, if you make the rooms drier and brighter. The increase in value will be even greater if the basement can be approved for residential use.
