WHAT CONDITIONS MUST A BASEMENT MEET BEFORE IT CAN BE RENOVATED? As we have seen a basement serves a structural purpose and is buried below the frost line to provide primarily stability to the property.

This isn’t something you should shirk as high levels of damp and humidity will destroy any renovation work that you attempt.
