I hammered it down. I will have to buy new anchors so I can tie the safe in my new home. The problem is that my house has tile. I'm afraid anchoring it would break the tile. The only place in the house with concrete is the garage, but there is no AC (I'm in Florida) and it's not typical. What do...

I don't know, I didn't install them, my father did. I will try to screw both nuts onto 1 anchor. Thanks

I removed a small safe but there are 2 small anchors left in the concrete. To look at the pictures, click at https://photos.app.goo.gl/41PTz8NuD4SWtpu46 How can I remove them?

Thank you. How can I remove the old gap sealant?

I have some water coming inside my garage every time it rains. It took me a long time, but I finally noticed where the water is coming from. The water is coming from the bottom of the door. To understand, please look at the pictures here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NURb9bUSfz419DBQ9 First picture...

Thank you very much. I will measure the grade when I arrive.

Thank you. What about this method of putting more soil, compared to the french drain? https://www.mmsd.com/what-you-can-do/managing-water-on-your-property/proper-grading-around-your-home What is the name of the specialist that would install a french drain, and maybe a sump pump?

How do you measure the grade? Click on https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32825051300.html This device measure the angle, would this be good?

My house is in Florida. There is a puddle of water in my garage when it rains. Please look at the photos at https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZZyy596QPmV1Vqwt6 Right now, I'm in France and I will come back to the house at Easter for 2 weeks only, and I will come back definitely in the house during...

Thanks. What is the specialty name of a worker or company that does that? Mason? something else?

I am not in the house right now, I am in France and will be back there in easter. For memory, the wall is very hard, it doesn't seem to be drywall, but a kind of cement, so it would be hard to cut inside. In the mean time, I left a small window open so the mold doesn't expand.

The insurance said that they don't cover it because it's not storm related. Here are better pictures of the problem: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xXiW1UyMv7FWrEJQ8 After looking at them, what should I do? Do you think that it comes from the door or from some cracks on the right of the door?

It happened even before the hurricane. Whenever it rains, there is water on the floor. The water doesn't come from the door I think. I think it's more from cracks on the floor. Anyway, I contacted my home insurance. The deductible is high: $2500.

I used a broom to clean out. Here are new better pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/XWSxciPado6SCuNc6 I cannot do this work by myself. What is the name of the specialist fixing the concrete so I can search for one online? The water appears every time there is a strong rain.

Removing the mold is nice, but if water comes back, I'm not going to call another time someone to remove the mold, so that's why I need someone to stop the water infiltration. The first and 2nd picture show the water. Before the water, I saw some cracks on the floor, close to the back door. I...
