Home Builders Association of Kitsap County -- Excellence In Remodeling Award

This customer wanted to convert an unfinished basement in their home to office space so that they could regain the living space that had been overtaken by the demands of their growing business.  The home situated high above Discovery Bay in Northwest Washington enjoyed views of Discovery Bay, Protection Island and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.  When the owners built the home they worked very hard to install drainage systems to handle copious amounts of ground water that are prevalent in that area.  For the most part, those efforts were successful, but there were a couple of areas in the unfinished basement that seemed to be damp from water vapor transmission or wicking.  They understood that conventional organic building materials and uncontrolled moisture were a recipe for future mold growth and would not provide them with a dry, healthy work environment.
