Quality waterproof flooring is truly 100% waterproof, not just water-resistant. This makes it perfect for Long Island’s coastal humidity and the occasional flooding concerns many East Moriches homeowners face.
The key difference is that water-resistant floors can handle spills if cleaned quickly, but waterproof floors can handle standing water without any damage to the flooring or subfloor underneath. For basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways where moisture is a real concern, waterproof flooring gives you complete peace of mind.
You can mop with confidence and not worry about humidity damage during those muggy Long Island summers. The flooring can literally sit in standing water without warping, swelling, or developing mold issues that plague traditional materials.
