FAQ Section

Quality waterproof flooring products are indeed 100% waterproof and will not absorb water, swell, or deteriorate when exposed to moisture. However, proper installation is crucial to prevent water from seeping underneath or between planks. Our professional installation ensures complete moisture protection.

Waterproof flooring can be fully submerged without damage, while water-resistant flooring can only handle surface moisture for limited periods. For Dubuque basements or areas with significant moisture concerns, we always recommend truly waterproof options for long-term performance.

Yes, waterproof flooring is ideal for basements with occasional moisture problems. However, we recommend addressing any significant water intrusion issues before installation. Our team can help evaluate your basement’s condition and recommend appropriate solutions.

Quality waterproof flooring properly installed by our Rettenmaier team typically lasts 15-25 years in residential applications. Many products come with lifetime waterproof warranties and 10-15 year commercial warranties, demonstrating their exceptional durability.

Unlike ceramic tile, most waterproof vinyl and laminate products provide better insulation and a warmer feel underfoot. WPC options, in particular, offer additional cushioning and warmth, making them comfortable options for Dubuque homes during cold Iowa winters.
