Description

The Complete Guide to Home Water & Moisture Problems includes more than 80 colour illustrations and instructional diagrams covering maintenance and repair of wet and damp basements?the most common and frustrating problems that homeowners encounter?and other moisture problems in the home. The single most commonly reported problem from homeowners is a wet basement and the problems associated with it?weakening foundation walls, mold and mildew, loss of storage space, and odor. Professional fixes are expensive and often involve digging trenches and excavating?far beyond the reach of the average homeowner. Odds are, however, that the homeowner can cure the wet basement problem by attacking the problem in several easy ways, which are demonstrated in this easy-to-use guide. Other home water problems involve leaking roofs, leaking plumbing, and high humidity. This book is designed to solve these problems?and more'saving homeowners possibly thousands of dollars by demonstrating how moisture and water problems can be conquered by following relatively easy steps. (April 2003)
