The Vast Majority

Vinyl suitable for basement. “The vast majority of the flooring we tested scored Excellent in our two 24-hour moisture tests,” says CR's Muratore, referring to a process that includes recreating the conditions of a flood.

But basements can be subject to persistent moisture, ranging from dampness wicking through the subfloor to pooling from storms or plumbing failures.

No Longer

How to repair hardwood floors with access from below Place a weight, such as a cement block, on the buckled board or boards. From below, drive a short screw, no longer than 1¼ inches, through the subfloor and into the buckled floor board.

The screw should not go all the way through the hardwood. Once the screw has engaged it will pull the flooring down, eliminating the buckle.

Moisture Content

Floor Problem and their solution.CUPPING.Some cupped floors lie flat once moisture issues arecorrected. Other floors might be deformed permanently.

A floor that doesn't lie flat needs to be sanded, but only when the moisture content of the top and bottom of the boards is within 1%. I drive a moisture meter through the subfloor to check the bottoms of the boards. If you sand the peaked edges of a cupped floor too soon, you could have crowned boards when they're fully dry.
