Basements are some of the most versatile spaces in your home, offering opportunities for extra living areas, home offices, gyms, or rental units. But before starting a basement remodel in Voorhees or nearby communities like Marlton and Haddon Heights, homeowners often have questions about waterproofing, safety, and local regulations. At Subterra Basement Remodelers LLC, we specialize in transforming basements into beautiful, functional spaces—while ensuring they stay dry and safe.
1. Do I need an egress window for my basement remodel?
Yes—if you plan to convert your basement into a bedroom or living area, most local codes require at least one egress window or door for emergency escape. This is critical for safety and meeting building permits in Voorhees and the surrounding townships. Our team installs egress windows that comply with size and accessibility requirements, helping you pass inspections with ease.
2. How do I prevent basement flooding and moisture problems?
Waterproofing is essential to keep your basement dry and protect your investment. We offer a range of solutions:
- Exterior waterproofing membranes
- Interior drain tile systems
- Sump pump installation and maintenance
- Foundation crack repairs
Proper waterproofing reduces mold risk and structural damage, which is especially important in areas like Berlin and Marlton that experience seasonal groundwater fluctuations.
3. How long does a typical basement finishing project take?
Basement remodels generally take 6–12 weeks, depending on the scope of work—whether it’s framing and drywall, installing electrical and plumbing, or adding custom cabinetry and flooring. We provide detailed timelines and keep homeowners updated throughout the project.
4. What permits are needed for a basement remodel in Voorhees?
Permits are required for structural changes, electrical and plumbing work, and any new egress windows or doors. We manage the permitting process with the local municipality to ensure your project complies fully with Voorhees and Camden County codes.
