Vinyl Panels Affected by Water

9 years ago

I have wood looking vinyl floor panels in my basement. Some are no longer lying flat because water (not a huge amount) flowed into the basement. What is the best remedy for this situation--replace the affected panels or try re-gluing them?

Thanks for your advice.

Fix the water problem first. Hydrostatic pressure from water moving through concrete can lift almost any tile. Fix that issue, then reglue.

Yes, you should focused first on fixing the water issue. After you fix that problem, you can re-glue the vinyl and add coating like epoxy for a durable and long lasting floor.
