Basement Finishing Photo Album: Sinking Mudroom in Auburn, MA
We had already helped this homeowner in Auburn, MA keep moisture out of the basement and save money on energy costs, so when she noticed that the floor of her mudroom was sinking, she knew she could trust us to get the job done right.
Upon opening up the floor, it was clear that the subfloor was falling apart and needed to be removed. We removed the subfloor and installed a new, far sturdier one. Once we had a base, we installed our ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring. ThermalDry is made of all inorganic material, meaning it will not swell, rot, or mold in the presence of water or moisture, making it perfect for the mudroom. Cat got caught in a rainstorm and ran in splattering about water and mud? Not a problem for this flooring.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this homeowner can rest easy knowing that her mudroom is structurally sound and mold or rot will not be a concern!

Because there wasn't proper support, the floor was essentially crumbling away
