Damp Basement

     After all the rain we had earlier this week, I was horrified to find puddles in my basement when I went down there this morning. It was actually in the crawl space so no furniture was damaged but some carpeting I had down there was pretty wet.

   Unfortunately, with the high humidity we have at the moment, it will take ages to dry out. I had to throw out some cardboard boxes which had soaked up quite a bit of the water, but stuff I had in plastic bags seems to be OK. It was a good reminder not to stockpile stuff down there so I will be doing a bit of decluttering soon.

  1. Oh, dear. Is this unusual and needs dealing with or is it something that might happen from time to time?
    Good luck with the decluttering.

    1. It hasn't happened before but the amount of rain that fell was unusual. I will wait and see if it happens again.

  2. Oh hopefully you can get to the source of this problem quickly & repair, should that be what is required, just as quickly. Thankfully you didn't have anything lost to the puddles. It has been a typical English summer hasn't it, with all the rain; too bad we aren't in England (lol). Poor Barrie with the tornado yesterday.

  3. It must have been terrifying. We had strong winds for a few hours. What about in your area?

    1. I spent the day trying to dry things out and throw out some cardboard boxes that had gotten soaked. Good time for decluttering!

  5. We've had a bit of water in our basement too. Nothing got damaged thank goodness as it was all in the laundry room at the back of the house.
