Q: Is it safe to stay in a house with a flooded basement?

• <div><p>It depends on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/causes-and-costs-flooded-basement.htm">what caused your basement flooding</a>, the extent of the problem, and the risk of the flood continuing. If your flood is coming from a septic system or sewer line, breathing in the sewer gasses can be dangerous, so you should vacate. If the flood occurs from an ongoing natural disaster, relocating to a safe area might be wise. If you just have a plumbing leak or rainwater coming in, you can likely stay in the house if you don&rsquo;t have electrical lines down there, but make sure you call in professionals to fix the issue immediately. </p></div>

Q: What should I consider when cleaning my crawl space?

• <div><p>Make sure you're calling in the right expert to help repair and/or clean your crawl space. A serious issue may require multiple experts that include a <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/mold-testing-and-remediation.htm">local mold remediation pro</a>, an HVAC pro, a foundation pro, and a plumber. You should also consider using a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/junk-removal/">nearby junk removal service</a> to avoid handling debris that could be covered in mold, fungi, rot, or asbestos.</p></div>

Q: Should you put plastic over insulation in basement walls?

• <div><p>A plastic vapor barrier should completely cover your basement to prevent water from penetrating through the walls. This typically goes before installing insulation to prevent moisture from building up and becoming trapped on the inside of your insulation, where it can collect and lead to mold damage. Installing insulation after the vapor barrier allows for any moisture to exit the walls for better ventilation.</p></div>

Q: Is water damage always accompanied by mold?

• <div><p>Mold and mildew are always a primary risk with any water damage, but it&rsquo;s not guaranteed that mold will grow. The chances of mold growth are dependent on many factors, such as the severity of the damage and how quickly the area was cleaned up and dried out&mdash;that&rsquo;s why responding to water damage immediately is imperative. If you suspect you have mold and mildew growth, you should talk to a local mold removal expert .</p></div>

Q: Can I convert a basement into a game room, and what are the challenges?

• <div><p>Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.</p></div>
