Waterproofing in Kent: Questions
I own a rental in Kent with a damp basement. What should I fix first?
Start with the moisture source a tenant cannot control: gutters, downspouts, grading and leaking cracks. Then set a dehumidifier to keep humidity below 60 percent, as EPA recommends for mold control, and check the sump pump each spring.
