Q: Where should I avoid using a dehumidifier?

• <div><p>One handy thing about whole-house dehumidifiers is, once installed, you don&rsquo;t have to worry about placement or changing the dehumidifier&rsquo;s position. But if you are using a portable dehumidifier, we suggest keeping it away from walls, vents, and furniture. It needs a central, unobstructed spot with access to lots of air to do its job.</p></div>

Q: What is the best ventilation for a crawl space?

• <div><p>The best ventilation for a crawl space is a fully encapsulated crawl space with its own separate ventilation system. If you go this route, ensure you have the proper <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-crawl-space-built-todays-standards.htm">crawl space code requirements</a> done and dusted before encapsulating your crawl space with a moisture barrier and installing appliances that may not be up to the proper specs. </p></div>

Q: When should you not finish a basement?

• <div><p>Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn&rsquo;t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. </p></div>

Q: What are signs that I need to waterproof my basement?

• <div><p>Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:</p><ul><li><p>Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor</p></li><li><p>Mold spots in your basement</p></li><li><p>Musty smells or odors</p></li><li><p>Warped doors or walls</p></li><li><p>Cracks in walls</p></li><li><p>Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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>

Better Way Garage Doors were awesome to work with. Justin and Travis were easy to communicate with, and did what they said they would. They not only installed a new garage door, but also serviced our other garage doors. All doors are working great, and quieter than ever.
