The typical Golden Valley home was built around 1966, per U.S. Census Bureau ACS estimates. A basement that age often has original block walls, a bare slab, and maybe a half-finished corner from a previous owner. That is exactly the kind of basement we know how to read. We check moisture conditions and talk through waterproofing questions before we frame a single wall, because covering a wet problem with drywall helps no one.
