Bizarre scenario. Bought a floating vinyl plank flooring, the water-proof, mould resistant sort. The GOOD stuff. My tenants accidently blocked the storm drain exterior the basement door throughout an apocalyptical storm, the likes of which have not been seen for the reason that days of Noah. Water, being a sheisty bastard, rushed in sooner than the galloping stallions on the Kentucky Derby. Floor has been fully dried after a number of expletives had been shouted and a visit exterior so I may give double center fingers to the clouds nonetheless within the sky.
Now, the vinyl plank is moist beneath and I do know from earlier instances being overwhelmed by the merciless stick of Mom Nature that the realm between the concrete slab and vinyl plank will nonetheless have water pooled that can not be sucked up by a dehumidifier. My query is that this….
Will one thing like this work to suck the moisture out with out having to tear the vinyl plank up?

I’ve known as a number of water mitigation locations they usually say it will not but it surely’s as a result of they can’t guarantee it will get all of the water out. I do not care about some EPA-tested response that ensures their ass is roofed by legal responsibility. Since y’all do not give “LEGAL” recommendation however can provide me just a few chilly exhausting widespread sense, do you suppose this is able to suck most the water out? I can not see the way it would not get most if not all, and I believe the porous nature of concrete will ultimately dry the remainder out and encapsulate any mildew if it had been to happen. I do know theyre meant for hardwood, however let me know your ideas.
Thanks y’all!
