Did you use 5 mm or something thicker? Getting it flat enough is pretty tough, but I've found that the 8 mm stuff spans some of the slight issues better.Are their trees out there that could grow into the line again?
From what I know, I would agree with what pride said. I wouldn’t use carpet. I grew up in a house with carpet in a basement with water issues.
I like the Coretec LVP I installed this summer but there some little uneven spots I should have addressed a little more and didn’t. Installation isn’t that hard if you had a buddy who’s done it before to get you started.
Bumping this, we had a sewer back up in my finished walkout basement and are now in the market for new flooring for the basement. We currently have stainmaster carpet pad with a a little shaggy carpet on top. The owners before us had a cat and we have a cat so I am thinking of changing to LVP or some other flooring for the basement. Insurance going to cover the cost of the whole basement when only about 1/3 of it was under water. What do people like for the basement?
Also looking for any contractor recommendations in West Des Moines who could do some drywall/trim and door work along with the flooring so compare against the insurance companies contractors.

If you have any issues with cat smell, seal the concrete with an odor blocker before putting the floor down. Both Kilz and Zinsser make an odor blocking sealant that just rolls on with a paint roller. It worked wonders on our basement following the previous owners and their cat.
I would have to look. It felt thinner than I expected when I got it out of the boxes.Did you use 5 mm or something thicker? Getting it flat enough is pretty tough, but I've found that the 8 mm stuff spans some of the slight issues better.
Baby wipes man. They will mess up your sh*t. Literally.It wasn't a tree, just scale buildup from West Des Moines water and I guess some flushable wipes is what I was told. We don't own any flushable wipes or haven't for the year and 3 months we have owned this house. We had a dead tree stump in the front yard but nothing active that should get into it.
How much square foot? I found LVP that wasn't cheap but was reasonable and I am a pretty cheap dude. I had to go to about 5 different places and drove a half hour to another town to a mom and pop type place that was strongly recommended to me in order to get it but it was worth it. There's such a wide range of LVP which I am guessing you already know. Like 8 billion combos.Anyone use Pergo Outlast flooring? I'm looking for a waterproof laminate since the kids and dogs have demolished the carpet on our main level. I think we need the scratch resistance of a laminate because I'm not paying top dollar for an LVP. We've got 3 kids, two dogs and my wife watches our two nephews a couple days a week, so it sees a lot of traffic.
