Basement flooring is an important component of a finished basement. When deciding upon the appropriate basement flooring for your basement remodeling project, it is extremely important that you first determine whether or not you have a moisture barrier underneath the basement floor. If you do not have a moisture barrier underneath the concrete slab then you will have high moisture levels that will wick through the concrete floor to the basement flooring.

When it comes to basement waterproofing, there’s been many new advances in recent times. It’s time to drop old ways of thinking and embrace the innovations in the field.
The standard in basement waterproofing for many decades was to install
a drainage system outside of the foundation walls in order to catch
water and drain it away from the house. Unfortunately, exterior
foundation drains are failing all over the country, causing basements
to flood at great inconvenience and expense to the homeowner.
