Basements create special challenges.

They may have limited daylight and may be more vulnerable to:


  • Dampness

  • Water seepage

  • Mould

  • Poor ventilation

  • Drainage problems

  • Temperature issues

  • Certain below-ground air-quality risks

Traditional Vastu discusses the suitability and use of basement spaces.

ANUKUL combines that traditional discussion with practical environmental assessment.

What Should a Basement Be Used For?


The answer depends on


  • Design

  • Ventilation

  • Moisture

  • Emergency access

  • Building regulations

  • Lighting

  • Intended occupancy

  • ANUKUL Basement Audit

Check moisture.

Check ventilation.

Check drainage.

Check emergency exits.

Check lighting.

Check mould.

Check structural condition.

Then examine traditional Vastu considerations.

A basement should never become a forgotten zone of the house.
