When water seeps into your basement, it not only causes mold and mildew as well as structural damage, but it also causes your flooring to be ruined and develop that musty basement smell. When replacing this flooring, there are a few safe options you can choose from.

Inorganic carpet tile won’t provide food for mold like organic carpeting does. Many inorganic carpet tiles provide a vapor barrier and insulation.

Laying vinyl in your basement is another option, but all vinyl isn’t the same. Choose vinyl specifically designed for basement flooring. The ideal choice provides insulation and a vapor barrier.

Replacing your basement flooring isn’t difficult or time consuming. Its a good project for any DIY-er.
