The brief
The owners wanted room for visiting grandparents and a place for teenagers to hang out, but the basement flooded in heavy rain.

Interior drainage and sump
Egress window
Insulated walls and floor
Guest suite with full bath

What made it tricky
Water came in where the foundation met the slab. We fixed drainage first and waited through two storms before closing the walls.
