        "text": "A dry basement requires addressing water prevention before any wood framing or drywall is installed. Inspect the exterior grading and downspouts around your foundation to ensure water moves away from the house. Inside, examine the concrete slab and foundation walls for efflorescence, damp spots, or cracks, sealing any minor surface flaws before work begins. During construction, we install moisture barriers between the concrete and framed walls. For flooring, choosing moisture-resistant materials like luxury vinyl plank, ceramic tile, or engineered systems prevents warping and mold growth over time.",
