basement

When I got home from work today, the basement was fairly dry. there was still some dampness in some out of the way places, so I'm going to leave the fans on until tomorrow.

There's a product which you can purchase which will also help to take the moisture out of your basement. It's some sort of dry fibre enclosed in a bag which you can hang from various ceiling points in your basement. It sucks in the moisture. All you do is put a pail beneath the bag, and it'll drip into it. We used to use them when our basement would flood from heavy rainfall, or the spring runoff of snow.

Really? I've never heard of anything like that. Can you give me a brand name or anything?

Sorry, no I can't. Can't remember the name. I think my ex used to pick them up from some of the 'home hardware', or 'home depot' scenarios. Perhaps, if you describe the product... they'll be able to direct you to where you can purchase it.

Hopefully, it's not a product which is only sold in Canada.

Don't you have a dehumidifier down there? Or is it too wet to run that yet...

I'll turn it on after I turn the fans off. I still have one in the window.

sorry about your basement, i've had many wet basement incidents myself, i'm curious about that dry product myself

It just drives me crazy because it wasn't from a leaky basement or a backed up sewer (common problems, and I've never had either of them), it was because a pond formed outside and came in a window!
