Q: Can you stay in a house with water damage?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s normally possible to stay in a house with water damage, but it depends on many factors. If the water damage is minor, like from a small plumbing or window leak, there&rsquo;s minimal risk to you and your family members, especially if you catch it early. Major water damage from flooding is more likely to lead to mold growth and electrical issues, which means it&rsquo;s safer to relocate until you have a professional dry out the area and treat the mold.</p></div>

Q: Which storm shelter is the best?

• <div><p>Below-ground shelters are the best in terms of durability, but there is a risk of flooding and obstruction. Modern technology and rigorous construction requirements make above-ground shelters a better option for accessibility, safety, and, usually, your budget. They may not have the same aesthetic appeal, but many of their features make above-ground shelters a better option. </p></div>

Q: Does a basement need ventilation to reduce humidity?

• <div><p>Proper basement ventilation is very effective at reducing humidity. Without enough ventilation, your basement is prone to mold and moisture damage. Your basement should have as much natural ventilation via windows and doors as possible, and if your budget allows, you should also consider installing an ERV system to keep basement humidity levels at bay.</p></div>

Q: What are the most expensive parts of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Anything having to do with the structure of your home, such as raising the ceiling, is usually the most expensive part of finishing a basement. Another project component that could be a surprisingly high expense is adding an exterior entrance. </p><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-average-cost-add-exitwalk-out-my-finished-basement.htm">cost of a walkout basement</a> can be anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000.</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>

They are very informative. He told us the truth that we don't need to replace our gutter but he was willing to give us some insight of what we can do with our gutters to make them more sufficient for us. We haven't gone to the process yet but so far, I would grade them an A.
