We had a late Summer storm plus it rained for 3 mornings, during that time, the city earned nearly 5 inches of rain.
The basement of my apartment was under 8 inches of water after my pal and I had the rain, then everything seemed to seep into the home plus pile up on the floor. I had to contact a plumber because the sump pump in the basement was clogged plus not working officially. The plumber fixed the pump so all of the water would drain, however she did not truly do anything about the fact that there was mold plus mildew. All of the mold plus mildew disfigurement was going to cause a lot of issues if my pal and I did not do something to remediate the issues swiftly. I went to the hardware store plus I bought a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier was costly, but it was the only way that I could feel of getting rid of all the moisture downstairs. I clogged the device into the wall on the north side of the basement. There is a sink close to that side of the basement plus I needed a locale to drain the dehumidifier, however when I clogged in the machine, the moisture levels downstairs were around 86%. The levels went down every single day as long as I continued to run the dehumidifier. On the second day, the indoor humidity levels were 70%. On the seventh day they went down to 69% plus on the 5th day, moisture levels inside of the home were only at 45%. The dehumidifier helped save us thousands of dollars in costly repairs.
