However water or moisture issues have to be addressed first. When installing wood floors, it is necessary to install a wood subfloor over the concrete basement floor using a network of sleepers (pressure treated 2x4s) and 3\/4th inch tongue and groove plywood or OSB. A plastic sheathing moisture barrier should also be installed between the wood subfloor and the concrete basement floor to reduce moisture risks.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><strong>Basement Utility Rooms<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inevitably a portion of your basement will need to be left unfinished, or at least it won&#8217;t make sense to finish it. Areas in particular include around furnaces, oil tanks, and water storage tanks. For these areas it is best to integrate the mechanical equipment into utility rooms with large access doors. It is important to have large doors to these rooms so that mechanical equipment can easily be accessed and replaced when required. Also, it is important to remember that furnaces need air to operate.

With drywall ceilings it is necessary to plan ahead for providing access points to upper level plumbing traps and valves. Dropped ceilings, on the other hand, are excellent for providing easy access to plumbing traps and valves, and they have come a long way in recent years in regards to aesthetics and styles. With the Industrial look, the basement ceiling is simply spray painted as-is.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\"><strong>Bathrooms and\/or Wet Bars in Finished Basements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Including a bathroom and\/or wet bar in a finished basement are great basement room additions, however they present their own unique set of problems.

When installing a new drain system in a basement, concrete floors need to be cut.
