Q: How do you make a homemade water barrier?

• <div><p>Sandbags are the most common and efficient way to create a flood barrier at home. Some local authorities pass them around to homes before the risk of a flood. Otherwise, you can use flood-proof house materials, like burlap or woven plastic bags, to make sandbags and fill them with sand or cat litter. Make sure that when you stack them, they&rsquo;re tightly laid on top of each other, creating the effect of a firm wall against accumulating water. </p></div>

Q: Can underfloor insulation cause moisture and mold?

• <div><p>Underfloor insulation alone will not cause moisture and mold, but improper installation can. Although the purpose is to seal any drafts, your subfloor still needs ventilation. If you seal the area too tightly and prevent all airflow, this can cause moisture to get trapped. This moisture eventually leads to mold and&mdash;if your floors are wood&mdash;rotting.</p></div>

Q: What other types of home improvement grants are available?

• <div><p>Other types of home improvement grants available are for those with very low-income housing, elderly people needing assistance, older adults, and veterans. These grants can range from helping with accessible modifications to improving critical issues that may affect the resident&rsquo;s health or safety.</p></div>

Q: Can a slab leak go undetected for a long time?

• <div><p>Depending on the severity, a slab leak can go undetected for months or even years, especially if you don&rsquo;t carry out routine foundation inspections to find foundation leaks early. However, minor leaks are likely to turn into more severe leaks over time, so you might notice increases in water bills and issues with yard drainage, even if the problem is minor.</p></div>

Q: Does a crawl space add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, a crawl space can add value to your home. However, there is a higher chance of it adding value if it is an enclosed crawl space, as this reduces issues caused by excess moisture in the home. That being said, a basement does add more value than a crawl space. </p></div>
