Hello everyone! I am looking into finishing my basement about 1000 sq ft. Been in the house for over 2 years now and the rear half of the basement has french drains with my sump pump. high water table so my pump during the winter months (jersey) goes off constantly. About once every 45 min or so. During the summer months it would be bone dry through out the summer. so my question is i wanted to finish my basement with using sheet rock after i frame everything and all. I wold like to do carpet, but what would be my best option as far as flooring just in case if anything happens and i get water in there. over 2 years and no flooding so far. One time our power went out for 15 hrs, my neighbor got 4 inches of water during a big storm last year. I didnt get anything since i had my generator powering my pump :thumbsup:
Basically wanna finish my basement since i can add 1000 sq ft of living space plus use it for tv/game room. but water always frigtens me. so would like some advice on the type of flooring to go with, even with the walls or framing. thanks.
