I live in an older house that gets water in the basement sometimes. It’s gotten a lot better after we’ve re-sloped the sides of the house but we still get some. This could be due to the old basement walls crumbling a little bit and water seeping in. Looking for thoughts/advice/recommendations in a few areas:
1. Does anyone have any experience re-sealing basement walls, is it something that can be done effectively by the homeowner or is it best to get a professional?
2. Anyone have a recommendation for a good dehumidifier? (We currently have a 115v 45-pint unit that has about stopped working).
3. I’m not sure if we have mold or not, but anyone use a mold test kit and clean it themselves or is that something that may also be best done by a pro?
Thanks.
