My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Condensation in Basement

6 years ago

Hello Everyone,


i live in 5 year old home and I have some condensation in my basement this summer. I currently have a dehumidifier running down there however I am wondering where I should keep the basement door (connecting the main floor and basement) closed or open? Thank you.
