Chances are, buying a home is the single biggest investment that the average American will make in their lifetime. Improving upon the value of this vital piece to your own economic puzzle should be paramount. An instant way to increase the value of your prime investment is an increase in the square footage. But, how can you increase the square footage of a home without an expensive addition? The answer is simple, waterproof your wet basement for more livable room.

By sealing your foundation and creating a waterproof seal you can instantly add livable square footage and finally realize that comfortable finished basement you’ve always dreamed of. Whether it’s to become a large bedroom for a child whose outgrown their childhood bedroom, or a fully functioning bar and games area, a finished basement increases both the perceived and actual value of your home.

In addition to those obvious values, with a finished, waterproofed basement you can also stop worrying about costly flooding because of unpleasant weather. That means no more moving boxes around whenever it rains. Finally by keeping your basement dry you significantly reduce the risk of dangerous mold occurring in your home.

Steel Decks with IPE Wood decking are becoming popular in all neighborhoods in NYC.

On July 1st, 2008 the NYC fire department adopted a new fire code based on the model code of the International Fire Code (IFC). One of purposes of the new code is to protect neighboring houses from catching on fire when another is burning. When applying for a new permit to renovate the fire department in conjunction with the NYC Building Department is requiring sprinkler systems and non combustible materials for decks in some instances depending on the distance between neighboring houses.

IPE hardwood also known as Ironwood is naturally resistant to fire, moisture, insects and can be used in ground contact without preservatives or additional treatments. It is rated in the same class as steel and concrete.

The initial capital investment will be greater to build with steel and IPE wood and in the long run your cost per year will decrease given that you will probably never have to replace the deck or decking.
