dri core got wet

14 years ago

So half my basement floor is covered with DRICORE and rained way too much yesterday. THe water table came up and water through the concrete floor into the basement. The dricore got wet from below-between the tiles and water even above in spots. Will this stuff ever dry out or will it need to be tossed? Can"t find an answer on the DRICORE site and its sunday!

thanks

Jeff

I would get a couple of dehumidifiers to work at once to get the moisture out of the DriCore. It'll probably be okay. Then you might have to rethink your approach if your basement regularly gets that much water.
