My fiance as well as I live in a certainly small home, as well as really, the only locale for storage is in our basement.
- Thankfully, my friend and I have full basement with a lot of space to store our things.
When my friend and I first moved into our house, the basement was definitely disgusting. There was mold everywhere, as well as the entire basement smelt so exhausting that I didn’t ever want to go down there. My fiance knew my friend and I needed the storage space, so he worked certainly difficult to wipe it up down there. He drywalled as well as put a drop ceiling in. Once he was finished, it looked one hundred times better, as well as my friend and I were able to store our things down there. There is still one issue I have though as well as that is the humidity levels down there. It is so moist as well as wet down there that my friend and I can’t seem to keep it dry no matter how difficult my friend and I try. The stone floor is painted, as well as it is super slippery because of the humidity. I have fallen multiple times while walking down there. My fiance bought a dehumidifier for the basement, as well as it did help quite a bit. It legitimately helped with the smell, however it was still humid enough for the floors to be wet, so he decided to get another dehumidifier as well as see if the two working together would help. Adding the second dehumidifier really did help. The floor is no longer slippery, as well as I don’t have to spray for mold twice a year anymore. My friend and I still get a little mold in the corners of the basement, however bleach takes care of it no problem. I can’t feel how much running two dehumidifiers helped save our basement, our things in storage, as well as me from calling on my face again.
