Q: How do you keep moisture out of a brick wall?

• <div><p>Brick is designed to absorb moisture, but it is also designed to let it evaporate as well. So in general, the goal shouldn&rsquo;t necessarily be keeping moisture out but making sure it has the room to breathe. If you have excess moisture getting through your brick wall, it&rsquo;s more likely that you have a crack or other issue at play that a typical sealant won&rsquo;t fix. So, instead of investing in sealant, try <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-repairing-brick-wall-cost.htm">repairing your brick wall</a> instead. </p></div>

Q: What is the most challenging part of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.</p></div>

Q: What are the most cost-effective foundation repairs?

• <div><p>The most cost-effective foundation repair is using <b>masonry patches and sealants</b> to seal foundation cracks and offer some support to prevent further damage. These methods are used to fix minor foundation cracks quickly. However, they&rsquo;re not suitable as a long-term solution, and they only offer minimal stability. On average, masonry patches and sealants cost <b>$500</b>, but a sealant like an epoxy crack injection can total <b>over $2,000</b>. If you&rsquo;re handy and only looking for a temporary solution until you contact a local foundation repair contractor for a more permanent one, you can save hundreds by DIYing this repair.</p></div>

Q: What causes a basement to smell musty?

• <div><p>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&mdash;like installing air fresheners and a dehumidifier&mdash;can help keep musty odors from returning.</p></div>

Q: What can I use instead of crawl space encapsulation?

• <div><p>Venting the crawl space can be a good alternative to encapsulation if you live in a dry climate and the moisture problem isn&rsquo;t severe. You could also try a dehumidifier or install a vapor barrier on the floor, leaving the walls exposed. A new drainage system may eliminate the moisture problem if it is not caused by humidity.</p></div>
