Q: Should you run a dehumidifier in the basement all the time?

• <div><p>No, your basement dehumidifier doesn&rsquo;t need to be on 24/7. While it&rsquo;s an excellent tool for tackling damp, musty air, especially in humid seasons, leaving it running nonstop can backfire. Over-drying the space can mess with your sinuses, warp wood, and even crack certain materials. Instead, only use your humidifier when moisture levels rise above 50%, and then give it a break when the humidity levels drop.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay for a crawl space to be wet?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t want your crawl space to be wet because water and even moisture in the air under your home can attract insects and rodents, decrease your indoor air quality, increase your energy bills, promote mold growth, and even lead to structural damage. If you notice any signs of water or humidity in your crawl space, you should get the issues addressed immediately by contacting a professional. They can remove moisture and will know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-waterproof-your-basement.htm">how to waterproof your basement</a> to prevent ongoing problems. </p></div>

Q: What are the downsides to crawl space encapsulation?

• <div><p>Crawl space encapsulation can make repairs more complicated, particularly if you have plumbing or wiring surrounding your crawl space area. Additionally, some home designs benefit from the additional airflow that crawl spaces with vents provide. Vents are no longer an option after encapsulation. Always talk to your crawl space contractor to ensure the pros outweigh the cons before investing in the installation.</p></div>

Q: Can a crawl space dry on its own?

• <div><p>In most cases, a crawl space will not dry out on its own unless the moisture comes from an uncommon flood and isn&rsquo;t expected to be a recurring issue. For most homeowners, moisture problems in the crawl space will only continue to get worse over time, so addressing the underlying problem with gutter systems or a foundation drainage system and setting up a preventative solution like a dehumidifier is necessary.</p></div>

Q: Should I waterproof the interior or exterior of my basement?

• <div><p>Several factors dictate if you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/it-better-waterproof-crawl-space-inside-or-outside.htm">waterproof the interior or exterior of your basement</a>. Waterproofing the exterior of your home is a great option if you use your basement for storage, as it provides the most protection from water and water damage. If you prefer work done outside of your home versus inside, exterior waterproofing is best for you. However, interior waterproofing is often less expensive since the area is easier to reach and requires less labor. </p></div>

"They used Jack's that can be custom cut and a steel beam to support the house. The concept is really good, the execution was done very poorly, they didn't cut them long enough to raise the house enough to be level, which is what I was paying them 8000 for! So they raised it a bit and probably realized they didn't cut them long enough and called it quits. They then gave me a poor excuse of the house is too heavy to raise it more with the Jack's that they used which are meant for that, not only that but it is being supported by them right now so...... Majorly disappointed,but hey at least it's not supposed to sink any more I guess."
