Are you looking for a coating for your basement that won’t only outlast traditional flooring systems but look good doing it? With national statistics showing that over 60% of existing homes with basements deal with a moisture problem, we know just how widespread moist basements are. Well, studies have shown that there is one basement floor coating that stands out above the rest, basement epoxy flooring. We know we know, epoxy is only useful in commercial and industrial facilities, right? Not at all! Today we are going to talk about what basement epoxy can do for you and why you should think about investing in it. Let’s get started!

The biggest advantage that a basement epoxy can bring to your home is the feature of basement waterproofing. Basements are known to be especially damp and otherwise uncomfortable, unsafe and hard to store your possessions in without having to worry about them becoming ruined. With the right installation, an epoxy coating can create a layer of protection from the underlying moisture and your home better than any other interior coating. With the chances of a basement flood being 5 times more likely than a fire throughout a 30-year mortgage, the 100 percent waterproof finish of epoxy can save you thousands of dollars in the long run.

By digging around, we have found that the average price of coating your basement with epoxy can change with the contractor you use but nation averages have the going rate for epoxy at 4-6 dollars a square foot. With such a low upfront cost, epoxies have been known to be the cheapest flooring system in the long run as it can last up to 30 years when professionally installed. Homeowners have reported that fishing the basement with an epoxy coating can warrant a return investment of 70%-75%, adding significant value to your home. To top it all off, basement epoxies do not need harsh cleaning regiments including the use of waxes or polishes, keeping the lifetime service life cost of the flooring to a bare minimum.

Now that you know how basement epoxies can save you money in the long run, let’s talk a little about how you can make your basement one of a kind.
