My spouse as well as I live in a undoubtedly small home, as well as really, the only place for storage is in our basement.
Thankfully, my associate and I have full basement with a lot of space to store our things.
When my associate and I first moved into our house, the basement was absolutely disgusting. There was mold everywhere, as well as the entire basement smelt so awful that I didn’t ever want to go down there. My spouse knew my associate and I needed the storage space, so he worked undoubtedly hard to scrub 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 associate 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 associate and I can’t seem to keep it dry no matter how hard my associate and I try. The brick floor is painted, as well as it is super slippery because of the humidity. I have fallen several times while walking down there. My spouse purchased a dehumidifier for the basement, as well as it did help quite a bit. It absolutely helped with the stink, but 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 laboring together would help. Adding the second dehumidifier absolutely 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, but bleach takes care of it no problem. I can’t know how much running two dehumidifiers helped save our basement, our things in storage, as well as me from calling on my face again.
