Keep Basement Floor Dry For Homeowners in Alpha, MN

Meg of Alpha, MN was concerned about water in her basement.  She had an existing draintile system that has never failed or caused any standing water, but she wanted to be able to confidently put carpet in her basement and didn't want to do that before knowing that it could be ruined by water.

Our ThermalDry flooring tile is a waterproof flooring system that has a place for water, should that ever be a factor for our customer.  The bottom of ThermalDry Flooring has pegs to create an airspace under your floor.  This keeps water vapor from getting trapped underneath your finished floor that causes odors and mold. 

ThermalDry Flooring also separates from the cold, hard and damp concrete floor, which also is a benefit to be more comfortable.  

ThermalDry Flooring is available in many different colors and styles.  Tile, carpeted, wood and traditional matting. 

Our customer in Alpha, MN opted for the traditional ThermalDry Matting, which gives the customer the option to have their own color of flooring installed above the tile system.
