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