Question : I am planning on finishing off my basement. However, the concrete floor is cracking and crumbling.? Do I need to break it all up and haul it out? Or can I cover it with another product? There is limited headspace so if I can just cover it up, it would have to be with a product that wouldn’t add anymore than 2 inches. Any ideas? The concrete was poured in the 50′s or early 60′s. Thank-you! finished basement floor plans

The air in my basement is cold and seemingly dry, so it could have just been because of this.

Do you think there could be mold hidden in the basement (the walls are brick and the floor is cement) mold inspection
