Transform Your BasementInto Extra Living Space (NAPSA)—Looking for extra space in your home? Head downto the basement. Basements can provide added space for exercise rooms, media rooms, workshops—even extra bedrooms. So why are they not always used? Basements can be damp and leaky. And damp, leaky basements can create the perfect conditions for the growth of mold and mildew, which can be smelly, ugly and difficult to keep in check. But it’s easy to reclaim your basement—and transform it into beautiful living space—with stateof-the-art products and a few “tips” from the experts at ZINSSER.

It also can cause structural rot and decay, promote the growth of mold and mildew and create high humidity levels throughout your home. That’s why water problems should be taken care of immediately.
