"The appointment was for 9:00 am and the young man arrived at 9:30. I think he tried to call to let me know, but didn't leave a message. He was very fast --less than an hour. I had a couple of spots that should have come up easily, but did not. I was easily able to get them up afterwards simply by spraying them with Resolve. He was able to partially remove a red stain that I didn't expect, but it appeared that he didn't notice the others. The carpet was extremely wet when he left. He indicated that it should take 4-6 hours to dry, so I put fans out to help it along. Even though the carpet is the flat industrial carpet squares, it took over 24 hours to dry completely. One thing that happened, not necessarily the fault of the company, was that carbon monoxide built up in the basement due to the cleaning process. The van was backed up to the garage door to allow for the hoses, and the exhaust built up in the garage and into the basement. Once the door to the garage was closed, the detector quickly went off. Something to be aware of if the cleaning van is parked close to your access doors. Overall was not that happy with the results. I'm not sure if the deodorizer was applied. Carpet wasn't smelly prior to cleaning, but I expected the basement to smell 'fresh' once the cleaning was done. It mostly smelled damp because it took so long for the carpet to dry.

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Without walls, other options to quiet an open space are to add noise-dampening materials like rugs, carpets, curtains, and soft furniture. These can act as a barrier to block and absorb sound. More expensive alternatives include acoustic panels, room dividers and temporary walls, and more advanced soundproofing.

Laminate flooring is susceptible to expansion and contraction during temperature fluctuations. In the summer, laminate flooring is more likely to expand, possibly giving it a crowned or warped look. In the winter, when temperatures fall, the flooring can contract, revealing gaps between the boards. This is normal and should be expected when you install laminate flooring.

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.

The toilet flange anchors to the subfloor, usually with wood screws or cement screws, but most of it should sit above floor level at full height. When a flange is flush with the subfloor or below it, it can lead to the creation of leak paths.
