I recently talked to an old friend who has had a home shop in his basement for years.
He mentioned that in the last few years, he has had water entering his once dry basement causing all kinds of problems...one of them obviously being rust. Apparently the weather/climate has changed to where in his once dry basement he now has to vaccum water seepage up a couple times of year.
I would like to hear from those of you who have to battle water/moisture in your basement shops...what do you do to keep the monster at bay?
Is it normal for a basement to be dry for years and then leak water?
He is now wondering whether or not he can continue to have his shop in the basement or if a new location will need to be found...what do you think?
Thanks for whatever info you can provide.
