My husband plus I have been having a couple major troubles with our house recently.
One of the troubles has been flooding in our basement.
My husband plus his buddy dug some sort of ditch last year that they thought would help deter the water from coming into the basement, however it evidently did not work. I feel so bad because they spent a lot of time digging that ditch. My husband has been looking for some ways to stop the water once again, although he has had no luck so far. The basement does not flood nearly as bad as it did last year, however the floor down there still stays pretty wet. I decided to buy a dehumidifier to go down there to see if it would help collect some of that water. I did not know what dehumidifier to buy, so I looked at several weird stores plus online. After looking at the reviews of numerous dehumidifiers, I finally picked one. It was not the most luxurious, however it was close to it. I wanted one that would work well. I have been using the dehumidifier for almost two weeks now, plus I feel like it is doing absolutely nothing. I know that it is doing something because I empty water out of it everyday, however it just does not do much compared to how much water comes into the basement. I have thought about getting a second dehumidifier, however my husband said that it legitimately will not make enough of a difference. He does not suppose that it will be worth the cost of another dehumidifier. However, a buddy offered me a free dehumidifier, so I am going to go over to his house plus pick it up tonight.
