3 little words for you......you need fans.....
keep the air flow moving, and it will dry up so much faster, fan in a window pulling air out, window on the other side left open, and 2 or 3 on the floor moving air. keeps mold form forming. getting it dry as fast as you can is key.
you may need french drains installed around the perimeter and a pump installed. being its a rental, who knows how much the landlord cares.
generally they dont give a dam.Quote:

I think once we go a few more days without rain the ground should start drying up and water should stop seeping. There are a lot of underground springs in the area and my theory is that that are "flooded" which isn't helping the situation.
I don't think its that he doesn't give a damn, its just that the house is so old and I don't think he necessarily think its worth it to install french drains. Also, he said that is the first time he had ever seen that much water in my basement, so hopefully it was just a freak occurrence.Quote:

i used to install these fans, they were for mold prevention, pretty much to keep air moving through the basements. you cut a 5 inch hole in the door atop the stairs from the basement, ( we put louvered covers over the holes) then cut a hole in the foundation for a exhaust vent, (opposite the stair case) then this box with a fan it it got mounted on the wall.
it pulled the air from the floor, and out the vent. you could smell the musty smell leaving with in an hour of it running. it also had some kind of humidity detector and would run the fan as fast or slow as it need to be running at.
my dad is from mars high he lived in butler and trafford. so i hear about the turn pike when he was 12 how he would crawl under it just for fun. i have so many stories form there lol and about ducan light lolQuote:
