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: Is it better to have a vented or sealed crawl space?

• <div><p>It is better to have a crawl space that is tailored to the outside temperature, your needs, and the season. For example, it is much better to have a vented space when it&rsquo;s very hot outside and your AC bills are sky-high. Conversely, when the temperature drops and humidity rises, it is almost always better to have your vents shut and covered if possible. </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 benefits do professionals offer over DIY sealing?

• <div><p>Access to commercial-grade products and equipment, ensuring thorough coverage and long-lasting protection.</p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to waterproofing the basement?

• <div><p>Some basement waterproofing methods can actually cause your water or moisture problems to get worse, which is why it&rsquo;s so important to call in a professional who knows how to solve your underlying issue and use the appropriate waterproofing methods. An example of this would be applying latex waterproofing paint to the insides of your basement walls without fixing the water issue outside. Doing so can trap moisture in the basement walls, which can promote mold growth, peeling paint, and even damaged concrete. However, when done by a professional, the only downside to basement waterproofing is the up-front cost. </p></div>

They were very quick and seems like quality work. Guys were super friendly, answered all my questions and were very patient with my 3 y/o who constantly wanted to talk to them as they were carrying buckets in and out. Pretty spendy but i think drain tiling is expensive regardless.
