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.

Regardless of the fiber used, proper care of carpeting requires regular cleaning, the best form of preventive maintenance. Invisible dirt particles on the surface - not foot traffic - do the damage that wears out carpeting. Grit that’s not removed chews into the fabric as the carpet is walked on.
Normally vacuuming carpeting once or twice a week should be sufficient for removing dirt. The vacuuming should be done whether the surface looks dirty or not. Always use a vacuum cleaner that’s in good condition ; one with a vibrating beater bar is considered best for all-round use.
