Flooring For Basements That Get Wet
Most basement floors are made of wood, tile, carpet, or laminate. This option is porous like a sponge - they just take the water until the floor could not resist anymore. They also have a wood subfloor that absorbs water and holds the fluid in place beneath the floor. This is important because where the water sits, is where mold and mildew to grow. Once mold and mildew to get the basement, if left unchecked, it can make structural softening and damage.
So once again, the point is to make sure this problem does not present itself in your basement. The way you do is install a basement floor that will not hold water and will not establish or fungi. Floors that will not rot or fungus can be broken down (pun intended) with what was made of material.
Organic material made from wood or clay tiles will be taking water and rot, so you want to avoid the choice of the floor. (Basement carpets included in this category because it is a combination of organic materials that do not take water when wet) Conversely, the floor is not organic and will not take water is recommended.
If you install a waterproof basement floor, even if you get your basement water seepage or leaks, the basement floor can be dried and reinstalled with minimal damage. You'll never be able to do it with a traditional basement!.
