Q: What soaks up moisture under a house?

• <div><p>A sump pump can remove excess moisture from under a house if standing water is present. Other ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-steps-protect-your-crawl-space.htm">protect your crawl space from moisture</a> include installing a vapor barrier, using a dehumidifier, installing insulation, and using a fan to dry the space. Finally, keeping your gutters clear of debris and positioning your downspouts away from the home&rsquo;s foundation can prevent moisture from getting into the crawl space in the first place.</p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to waterproofing the basement?

• <div><p>Some basement waterproofing methods can actually cause your water or moisture problems to get worse, which is why it&rsquo;s so important to call in a professional who knows how to solve your underlying issue and use the appropriate waterproofing methods. An example of this would be applying latex waterproofing paint to the insides of your basement walls without fixing the water issue outside. Doing so can trap moisture in the basement walls, which can promote mold growth, peeling paint, and even damaged concrete. However, when done by a professional, the only downside to basement waterproofing is the up-front cost. </p></div>

Q: Is it OK to live in a finished basement?

• <div><p>Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted. </p></div>

Q: What are the hardest parts of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they&rsquo;re the parts we typically don&rsquo;t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.</p></div>

They did a good job. I used somebody else one time and it was twice that much. I called them up and they called me back and gave me an estimate. Two hours later, they showed up with a truck. They took stuff out of my basement and out of my garage. Anything I didn't want, they took.
