That's one of the points about the double laminate flooring. It's water
resistant. A leaky pipe should not hurt it. Now, a continued soaking
or 6 inches of water for 3 or 4 days might.
We just had a big flood down here. Seriously, I'm going to check with
some people on the east side of town. I bet they'd know.

Subject: [VAC] Re: Pergo vs. ....
I am in the process of selecting a new floor covering also. I have
considered the Pergo type flooring, but two things really worry me.
The first is water damage. I'm not sure it is worth the risk if I had a
leak? How many of us can say we have never had a fixture, or a
pipe/hose break? I know I can't. I shudder to think what might have
happened to my nice new Pergo floor if it had water sitting on it for
any length of time.
Are you installing the Pergo around/between the existing furniture, or
is everyone cleaning out the interior and recovering the entire floor?
That's what I'm doing.
I would think the Pergo type floors are very heavy compared to what was
in there! A very good inlaid linoleum for my 22 footer will
approximately 90 lbs.(That's what the website reported)
I also won't feel comfortable unless I have a one piece floor covering!
I will still coat the edges with epoxy!
Originally I really wanted a "wood" flooring, but unless I select the
"best" inlaid type linoleum, at around 55+ bucks a square yard, I won't.
I will select a good quality flooring that matches the original as close
as possible. Now if I can only find one without that ridiculous shine!
Be careful with the wood. Water....it's everywhere!! <g>
