My partner and I have been having a couple major troubles with our property recently.
- One of the troubles has been flooding in our basement.
My partner and her neighbor dug some sort of ditch last year that they thought would help deter the water from coming into the basement, but it obviously did not work. I feel so bad because they spent a lot of time digging that ditch. My partner has been looking for some ways to stop the water once again, but she has had no luck so far. The basement does not flood nearly as bad as it did last year, but 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 many different stores and online. After looking at the reviews of multiple dehumidifiers, I finally picked one. It was not the most overpriced, but it was close to it. I wanted one that would labor well. I have been using the dehumidifier for almost two weeks now, and I feel like it is doing really nothing. I know that it is doing something because I empty water out of it everyday, but it just does not do much compared to how much water comes into the basement. I have thought about getting a second dehumidifier, but my partner said that it absolutely will not make enough of a difference. She does not suppose that it will be worth the cost of another dehumidifier. However, a neighbor gave me a free dehumidifier, so I am going to go over to her property and opportunity it up tonight.
