It is important that your house have adequate drainage, and your yard must allow for that to happen. It is the slope or angle that will allow the water to flow toward your home or away from it.
If you have a basement, then moisture will seep down into your basement and/or behind the walls. If your yard is sloping into your home, then put some topsoil so the elevation is increased in a natural way. There are a number of measures you can put into place that will increase the draining capability.
Carpeting can be very expensive, and you can protect yours and prevent it from wearing out by putting throw carpets on top. This is about those areas that are near doors and places that see a lot of foot traffic. So look around your own house and see where you can implement these cost effective home improvement ideas. Every single home has these places that wear and age faster than other areas.
Another thermal related home improvement idea is placing insulation in the entire attic. If there is no finished floor, or just a walkway, then place the insulating material on the floor and cover with wood.
Once the floor is done, then taking care of the ceiling or walls would be the next step in the process. With insulation above the floor, you can tack it in place or cover with thin wood sheeting. As you can quickly see, these are not expensive projects, and they increase the energy efficiency of your home. Lots of people love home improvement, and it really can be a lot of fun if you like that kind of work. There is a great feeling of satisfaction that comes with working to make the place you live nicer, safer and more valuable. Start with a small project if you're new to home improvement and see how you do. Then, you can move up to bigger and more ambitious projects as you gain confidence and experience. The most important aspect is to work well within your budget and avoid going deeper into debt.
