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: What is the easiest way to waterproof your basement?

• <div><p>The easiest methods for waterproofing your basement include installing a gutter system to direct excess runoff away from your foundation and grading the soil away from your home to pull water away from the concrete. In some cases, these methods alone can be enough to eliminate water intrusion and moisture problems in your basement. If you have excessive rainfall in your area, though, you might need to employ more complicated solutions, like installing a French drain and a dehumidification system inside.</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 long does a vapor barrier last?

• <div><p>A vapor barrier can last over 20 years, but they are vulnerable to pests, flooding, and other natural disasters. If your home weathers a storm or is treated for any pest infestation, make sure to have a drywall pro come check the integrity of your vapor barrier. It&rsquo;s also important to have a pro install a vapor barrier since improper installation can lead to tears or leaks in the barrier that shorten its lifespan.</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>
