Definitely - It's a solid formed plastic in a weaved type pattern which leaves plenty of 'air flow' - we use it in a production area and often hose it down and take a shop vac to it daily!

It's plastic and intended for outdoor use, so I don't think water in your basement will hurt it. I like it on my deck.
1048217
Yes you can. That is the reason I purchased it and it works great. The tiles are a hard plastic with area for the water to pass.

I used it on a deck in Hawaii that gets rain. Rain does not hurt the product and if you have no drainage issues I would think you will be fine.

Absolutely. I think these would be perfect for that and they are very attractive.

We have this in our sunroom where we have out swim spa. we are tracking water out of it all of the time and it doesn't seem to bother it if that is what you are wondering.

It works well on laminate. The floor mate doesn't leave a lot of water behind so there are no issues.

The concrete basement floor that I put it in on was pretty uneven and it worked great. If there was an ubrupt change in elevation or large gap, I could could see that being a problem. I wouldn't put any padding or pre-floor.

I would not use it in a room unless it had a concrete floor that did not have carpet or wood over it. The water does not go everywhere but, you will get water on the floor.

If they are used outside your shower, the only water that would get on your floor is that remaining on you, so yes, there would be some water on the floor under the mat.

I haven't used it in a basement, but we had a bunch of water come in through our patio doors and saturate a carpet. The stink was unbelievable. This is the only thing that let us get near the area that I couldn't reach with the wet vac until it dried out on its own.

I don"t know. I put it in the basement for this hard awful winter we have had. (northeast). I know with heavy rain it didn't have any problem. Sorry i can't help more.

It is working well in my basement which is not that large and is open for the most part. For a separate storage room, I have another dehumidifier. My basement is damp, but the two dehumidifiers keep it nicely dry. I wish that I could give you a more clear answer. I probably should have responded that I do not know. IT is working very well for the laundry and the large, open area where it is set up.

I would get two. This stuff is very thick and goes fast. I did my basement floor and thought I had enough to do the whole thing, however I needed two full cans. When using, make sure you shake it up really really well. There is a sand grit to it which just sits on the bottom until you shake it. Then pour into a painters pan and spread around to make it even when you apply it.It works great, I love it and even outside it lasts. Best of luck.

I have one on my concrete basement floor covering a hose. It is not attached to the floor. It is relatively heavy but still does move some. It is not a problem for me but could be for others.

We did, and it worked wonderfully. We did however use some concrete floor leveler to fill in the gaps between concrete slabs and help level out places around drains, plumbing etc... After we poured the leveler and let it dry, we used a hand grinding block to smooth those areas out nicely. A good vacuum and wipe down with a wet rag, and it was good to go. It went down very nicely on the concrete and looks great. Definitely happy with the outcome in our basement. Hope this helps.

Depending on how high you suck out the water, but should be powerful enough fron a regular basement to the outside. It does not matter how far the distance. Remember what matters is HOW HIGH not how far.

I would think so, we used a couple of them when our basement flooded. Hope this helps.

Yes, but you will get wet. It also takes a little technique. But with the power washer and the right tip it works. For the 2nd floor it gets a little whippy.

I've used it on the floor. The only problem is the tube is so small that if you're planning on doing a large part of the floor you'll need a few tubes.

I have used this in multiple areas. Most areas seem to be "permanent" however my basemant does need to be done probably every month. Basement lasted a long while then summer humidity + heavy rains, I had to "refresh" the basement. Hope that helps.

I would not use even water on a hardwood floor let alone steam. I believe if you read hardwood floor waxes/cleaners they will also warn against using water on hardwood floor. If water manages to get into the wood, you could have a real problem. Maybe IF the floor isn't real wood, you might get away with it.
