Q: What happens if soffits are blocked?

• <div><p>The purpose of soffits is to circulate air, so a blocked soffit means the air in your attic becomes stagnant. This can lead to a number of problems, mostly moisture-related, that can cause damage to your health and your home. The good news is that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-fascia-and-soffit.htm">unclogging soffits</a> is relatively straightforward, and if your attic is easy to access, an easy DIY project.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if you have a leak under your foundation?

• <div><p>A leak under your foundation from a water supply line or sewage line is likely to lead to water pooling on certain areas of your property during rainfall, abnormally fast-growing or green grass in certain sections of your lawn, and differential settlement of your foundation, which can result in large foundation cracks, windows and doors failing to operate properly, a wavy or sloping roofline, or damages or irregularities in your interior walls, including cracks and bulging. If it&rsquo;s a plumbing line embedded in your slab, you&rsquo;ll also likely notice above-average water bills.</p></div>

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: Is it better to have a crawl space or a slab?

• <div><p>Crawl spaces are the more desirable option overall because they provide additional space for storage and utilities, but they are more expensive to install and maintain. Slab foundations are considered a better option in warmer climates where the depth of the frost line isn&rsquo;t an issue because they&rsquo;re more affordable, but crawl spaces are better in areas where the frost line is deep or where flooding can be an issue. </p></div>

Q: Is it OK to live in a finished basement?

• <div><p>Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted. </p></div>
