Why You Should Plan A Basement Cleanout

We often find homeowners with basements fit in two categories: those who treat their basements as another living space and those who treat it as a storage unit. When you don’t often spend time in the lowest level of your home, it can be easy for it to turn into an area of clutter and chaos. Before you continue to look the other way, learn why you should plan your basement cleanout.

Why You Should Plan A Basement Cleanout

• Pest control and prevention: Because clutter invites pests, removing it is a great way to keep critters out of your home. Spiders and mice seek out the quiet areas of a home to create their nests, making cluttered basements a perfect hiding spot. Silverfish feed on starchy paper products, putting your treasured family photo albums at risk.
• Peace of mind: Weeding through old things and tossing what you no longer want or need helps you better protect those precious, sentimental items you want to hold onto forever. Buy waterproof storage containers for these items. Then look into donating, recycling, or throwing out any not-so-precious belongings that are just taking up space.
• Benefit yourself and others: When sorting through your old, unwanted items, there’s bound to be a pile afterward that you know would be of use to someone else. By selling your stuff online or donating it, you’re either putting extra cash in your pocket or helping out people in need. It’s a win-win!
• Extra living space: Are you making the most of the space in your home? Think of all of the extra square footage available in your basement! Even if it isn’t finished, you can find ways to make the space cozier like adding a rug and good lighting.
