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 safest insulation for basement walls?

• <div><p>Rigid foam board insulation is one of the safest insulation materials for basement walls. The panels offer a moisture barrier to prevent mold and mildew build-up. At the same time, this material is also fire-resistant, so you don&rsquo;t have to worry as much about a fire breaking out as you would with spray foam insulation. </p></div>

Q: Should water in the basement go away on its own?

• <div><p>Pooling or standing water in your basement should be cause for alarm and action. This indicates that there is a leak or a drainage issue, and until you repair the root of the problem, the situation will only happen again or grow in severity. It&rsquo;s important to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-fast-can-water-damage-ruin-home.htm">deal with water damage</a> as soon as it occurs.</p></div>

Q: How expensive is moisture barrier padding?

• <div><p>Generally, moisture barrier padding costs <b>$0.75 to $1.50</b> per square foot, varying by brand and mix. That&rsquo;s a lot more than standard padding, which runs <b>$0.25 to $0.90</b> per square foot. The price difference between these two options might seem steep, but think of it as insurance against future carpet replacement costs and subfloor damage. If you have pets or kids, that extra investment in high-risk areas like your living room often pays off.</p></div>

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>
