What is an unfinished basement?
Included basement is a type of basement that is not ready for use as a living space and often has a number of features that make it rough or somewhat uncomfortable to be inside. In this use, the "unfinished" does not concern the process of completing the basement construction - the basement was completely built. It was not completed in the sense that the floor is usually bare concrete, the walls can be a concrete block or bricks, and the ceiling of the basement can have exposed pipes or cabling. The unfinished basement can be converted into a finished basement with a little work, and this is often done during the reconstruction.
The basement of the house or other building is generally an area that is completely or partially located underground. It is often below the ground of the building and is often accessible from the building, usually up the stairs. This area can serve a number of different purposes and often contains water heaters electrical systems for most of the building. If the building has an unfinished basement, space is usually usable for storage and other purposes, but is not particularly comfortable.
The unfinished basement will often have a floor consisting of uncovered concrete, which can simply be the upper layer of the building foundation. The walls of the basement can often be quite thin and can consist of block or exposed studs and support for the building. The insulation can be installed so that the unfinished basement is too unpleasant, but it can also be revealed and potentially dangerous. Plumbing and electrical systems can also be exposed along the ceiling and walls of the unfinished basement, although practical, it is usually not attractive.
The process of converting the unfinished basement into a finished basement is not necessarily expensive, but requires, but required work. Any leaks in the basement should be found and stopped and the walls should be isolated if they are no longer, and covered with plasterboard or similar product. Wires and plumbing are usually hidden and ceiling covered with plasterboard or large tiles, with removingOften with mate tiles if wiring or pipes need to be accessed. Then floors such as pads and carpets can be installed and the finished basement provides a more convenient and usable living space.
