My basement flood in 2021 made me switch from carpet to vinyl plank
When my sump pump failed during that big rainstorm three years ago, I had to rip out all the soaked carpet and padding. I spent about $2,800 to replace it with waterproof vinyl plank from a local shop. Now, I don't even worry about spills or dampness down there, and cleaning is just a quick mop. Has anyone else in Edmonton made a switch like this after a big mess, and what did you pick?

My neighbor had the same problem and went with epoxy paint on the concrete floor. It looks like a garage floor now, but it's bone dry. I still prefer the feel of something underfoot.

Did you look at any other flooring options, or was vinyl plank the obvious choice after that mess?

What about the noise and that hard feel underfoot? I kept a small carpeted area in my basement after my flood because the vinyl plank was so loud and cold for the kids to play on.
