How long does carpet padding last?

• <div><p>It depends on the kind you choose, but some types of carpet padding can last for decades. For instance, flat rubber—which is dense, durable, and higher-priced than other padding materials—has a life span of up to 20 years. On the other hand, prime foam—a lower-priced material that often comes free with a carpet installation—lasts less than five years on average.</p></div>

Q: Is carpet or laminate flooring better for allergies?

• <div><p>In most cases, laminate flooring is better for people with dust or other allergies as laminate is easier to clean. Carpet can trap pollen and other allergens, allowing them to be kicked up into the air again with foot traffic. Consult your flooring specialist about the best types of carpet or laminate flooring to use based on your household member&rsquo;s needs.</p></div>

Q: What happens to cork flooring when it gets wet?

• <div><p>One of the upsides of cork flooring is that it's mold-resistant, so you don't have to worry about mildew or mold growth on wet cork. However, you should always clean up any moisture as soon as possible and use as little water as you need when cleaning. This will help you avoid issues like buckling or swelling in your cork flooring, which often requires replacement, and prevent moisture from seeping into your subfloor, which can cause the dreaded mold or mildew problems.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can an attic floor hold?

• <div><p>Not all attic floors are created equal&mdash;size, layout, and square footage often vary. The amount of weight an attic floor can hold depends on several factors including the joist size and position, any structural supports or subfloors, and the original intent of the attic design. Without structural reinforcement, your floor might only be able to support about 10 pounds per square foot of floor load before collapsing.</p></div>

Q: Do you install flooring before cabinets?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-flooring-best-my-home.htm">type of flooring</a> you plan to install will determine if it goes in before or after the cabinets. It's okay to swap the order in many cases. However, hardwood floors, sheet materials, and tile often go down before the cabinets go in. Floating floors like laminate or luxury vinyl planking should go down after the cabinets are in place.</p></div>

They did a very good job of remediation as far as I can tell, but David wasn't quite truthful about two things he told me. They also put my stuff back in the basement onto the floor while it was still wet from remediating. That didn't sit right with me.
