Slap up some cubicle walls? That's gotta be cheap and easy.

Get creative with a tank of spray foam and some plywood forms. The basement fun foam room, with built in bed, lounger and that screwed up mound of foam over there in the corner that isn't really useful for anything but is also a bit structural.

So our basement bedroom flooded in the summer during one of those massive rainstorms, and I finally got a quote from the insurance company. The water came up from the floor in the corner of the bedroom, which leads me to believe there's some kind of issue with the foundation there, but per the adjuster the insurance will only cover fixing the actual damages, they don't do anything to remediate the cause. I am able to hire my own contractors and the insurance will pay them directly, so does anyone know of a restoration company that can actually diagnose and fix foundation issues? I don't mind paying more out of pocket than what the insurance will cover as long as the root cause is fixed and I don't have to worry about more flooding in the future
