This may seem self-evident to many, however, it didn't to me. With a walkout basement, plenty of sand fill outside, and a generally high/dry building site, I didn't think a damp basement would be a problem. No mold showing, no damp floors. I mentioned the typical "basement smell" to a friend, and he suggested a dehumidifier. WOW, what a difference! After a little research and poking around, I determined a small (30 pt) would be sufficient. It only took two days, and I had a new basement! Don't overlook the obvious solutions!
