"We recently purchased a 1 BR ocean front investment property in Myrtle Beach. The place needed a complete overhaul. I was very nervous about finding the right contractor because I do not live in the area and we couldn't find a trusted contractor with my limited contacts. I vetted several contractors and settled on One Stop Plus after speaking to the owner and their project manager, Anthony. I couldn't be happier with the work. I can't say enough good things about Anthony. He was ALWAYS available to answer my questions, provide his thoughts when we had to make decisions, and to work through any hiccups along the way. They work fast and efficiently. With any large reno, not everything goes smoothly but Anthony and his team were able to respond quickly and remedy any issues. I am very happy we chose One Stop and I would highly recommend them."

Basement Leak Repair questions, answered by experts

Mold and mildew are the things in basements that actually cause the musty odors, but moisture is the underlying issue that causes mold and mildew growth. Addressing moisture and water problems and then removing materials that are moldy are some of the best ways to get rid of the musty odors. Preventive measures after that—like installing air fresheners and a dehumidifier—can help keep musty odors from returning.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’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. 

No, your basement dehumidifier doesn’t need to be on 24/7. While it’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.

Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.

The four most common types of stormwater drainage systems are ditches, catch basins, french drains, and slot drains. Ditches are open trenches designed to reroute stormwater off your property. Catch basins are connected to your local sewage system. French drains are great for keeping water out of your foundation, and slot drains are low-capacity drain systems that work best with light storms.
