[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the basement is fairly clean and dry at the moment, I'd leave it for the time being but put it on the list to be replaced down the road. All basements are eventually somewhat damp and carpet inevitably gets worse (allergenic, musty, moldy) in a subgrade situation. See how the carpet is doing a year from now after the summer humidity and late summer/fall rains and then make a decision. When and if you replace it, use LVP (luxury vinyl plank) that looks like wood. Hardwood will not stand up to the damp and will be expensive. LVP is cushioned and insulated as well as waterproof, great for a playroom, and much cheaper than other options. You can read up on it and order some samples; this is emphatically not the vinyl flooring of old.[/quote] +1 It's great not to have to worry too much about moisture in a basement. And if it's just a playroom, no point in wasting money putting in nice hardwood that might get wet.[/quote]
