Improving your home continues to be your smartest investment, but ONLY if the solution is permanent.
Of all the things you can do to improve your home, waterproofing ranks highest from a return on investment standpoint.
In many instances you are increasing the total available space of your home by 33% to 50%. The fact is, fixing these problems is more of an investment than an expense. And, now that you know neglecting these problems makes your home less healthy, it should make fixing these problems a higher priority. No other investment in your home makes more sense or offers a higher return.
How much sense does it make to:
1. Devote up to 50% of your monthly mortgage payment to space that cannot be used?
2. Not fix the problem now?
3. Not realize that your home is worth less now?
4. Prolong an inevitable repair expense?
