The finished area of our basement is approximately 400 square feet. I’d highly recommend this! It’s so much better to see things in person, but also have a point-person to contact with questions. For us, the process of talking to them on the phone was really difficult so we went into our local store and talked with them in person. Once they measured, someone called us with a cost / supply estimate. There’s a fee for the measurement, which is deducted from your total if you end up purchasing flooring. When we were 90% sure, we scheduled someone from Home Depot to measure our space. But, a huge win were these 6 foot water blocking sandbag snakes from Amazon! They are literally designed to block water, so we put two of them around our floor drain, close to our wall to protect and reroute water if it ever comes up! If you get water in your basement (or even somewhere outside your home), you’ve gotta check these out! Ordering LifeProof LVP Speaking of water, to help prevent our newly updated finished area of our basement from getting water again, we got a sump pump installed.
LifeProof LVP can be installed over most hard surfaces, like concrete, tile, vinyl, or wood.The pad was included/attached, so it removed another step in installation.Y’all, after dealing with puddles of water in 400 square feet of carpet, the phrase “waterproof” sounds VERY attractive! And guess what? LifeProof Vinyl Plank Flooring from Home Depot is 100% waterproof! So began our search for other options! Our good friends had just installed luxury vinyl planks in their basement and since they had such a good experience with it, we just went with it! You know, I love how carpet adds instant coziness to a room, especially a basement, but with a history of water, we didn’t want to take the risk of that happening again.

It was also an encouragement for us to update our space to get rid of that musty carpet! When Ohio had that huge rainstorm in 2018, our carpet was soaked and we spent hours cleaning it up. And while most of our basement was renovated and finished in 1970s wood paneling and carpet, it has been no stranger to water.
When you hear the phrase “1950s basement” what’s something you might think of? Maybe water? Yep, and that would be true of our basement too. It’s been a week since our LifeProof Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring (also known as LVP) was installed and we’ve had so many questions, so today we’re sharing our review and experience after 1 week! Why Vinyl Planks?
