Why should I install porcelain tile waterproof basement flooring and how does that help reduce the cost of damage in the event of basement flooding?<\/em> The simple answer is because it is basically waterproof with a porosity of less than 0.5%, which means if your basement floods,\u00a0<\/em>you won’t have to replace your porcelain tile floor, saving you money on your wet basement repair or restoration.<\/p>

When installed over a properly sealed concrete floor, by professional floor installers like ours at Eco-Depot in Montreal, Laval, or South Shore<\/a><\/strong>, porcelain tile will almost certainly withstand major basement flooding.<\/em><\/p>

Basement Flooding in Montreal, Laval, And South Shore Caused Major Damage to Basements<\/h2>

Just this year, basement flooding in Montreal and surrounding areas caused major damage to many homes and businesses in Quebec. The Insurance Bureau of Canada recently described the Aug. flooding caused by the remnants of Debby as the costliest severe weather event in Quebec\u2019s history, surpassing the 1998 Ice Storm, with an estimated $2.5 billion in insured damage.<\/p>

Chlo\u00e9 Poulin discovered at least eight inches of water in her Laval, Que., basement after the remnants of tropical storm Debby hit Quebec earlier this month.<\/em><\/p>

“The water came in through the garage,” she said. “We saw it coming in and we couldn’t do anything.” <\/em>Though she was able to save some furnishings and other belongings, the flooring<\/strong> and walls were a total loss. Source, CBA News<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

Why Install Something Like Faux Wood Porcelain Basement Flooring?<\/h2>

Any porcelain tile can help reduce the cost of damage caused by basement flooding, but faux wood porcelain tile flooring<\/a> is the most popular due to the many choices of design, color, shapes and sizes. It is essential to have waterproof basement flooring to mitigate the damage basement flooding can cost you.<\/p>

As a Montreal homeowner, there are a probably a lot of things you already do to prevent basement flooding. You may have even had to repair a wet basement in the past. Maybe you’ve already installed a sump pump, a backwater valve, weeping tiles or other solutions… but have you thought much about the installing waterproof basement flooring?<\/em><\/p>

At Eco-Depot, we highly recommend porcelain tile flooring when remodeling or restoring your basement.<\/p>

  1. Porcelain tile flooring is much more durable than other types of flooring.<\/li>
  2. Porcelain tile is easy to clean and it doesn’t stain.<\/li>
  3. Porcelain tile also resists virtually any type of chemical.<\/li>
  4. Porcelain tile does not facilitate the development of bacteria.<\/li>
  5. Porcelain tile does not deteriorate.<\/li>
  6. Porcelain is the best choice for waterproof basement flooring.<\/li><\/ol>

    Porcelain tile flooring is a great low-maintenance solution for your basement floor and most importantly; Waterproof basement flooring means lower repair costs in the event of a flooded basement!<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

    How does porcelain tile compare to ceramic tile?<\/h3>

    Porcelain tile is more impervious to water compared to ceramic tile. For high-traffic areas, outdoor areas, and basements, porcelain is the better choice because of its durability and moisture resistance. Ceramic tiles are more porous and have a higher water absorption rate. That is why Eco-Depot recommends porcelain tile for your basement flooring.<\/p>
