Wet Basement Problems?

Recently I was hired to come up with some design plans for a basement. The issue with the basement is, it sometimes gets flooded. So I had to come up with a viable solution. Carpet was no good, mold issue. Wood out of the question. Laminated floors, adhesive gets wet, making the tiles pop up. Floating floor, water will damaged the particle board. So what do you use for flooring?

Vinyl tiles or planks. Completely waterproof. Unlike conventional laminated floors, it won't swell or buckle in high humidity. And if you get flooded, you just pick up the tiles, let it dry and put them right back in!! What is the secret? It's an interlocking covering that is adhesive-free. Simply snap it together. No need to prep floors. No underlayments or moisture barrier. Simply put it over you old existing one. Damaged a tile? Simply pull up the tile and replace it. Easy to maintain, just damp mop using regular cleaners.






You can see why vinyl flooring is the way to go for flooring in your basement.  But it doesn't  have to end there. You can use this type of flooring in your mud room or even in your kitchen! Use it anywhere where water is an issue. I love this product!! Need help designing your room? Contact me!
