Is steam mopping better than regular mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mopping might be better than regular mopping if you don’t use the right cleaning products or properly rinse or wring out the mop head. However, if you use the right techniques, regular mopping also sanitizes effectively—even if it takes more effort. Plus, you know you can use a regular mop on any flooring—including to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-laminate-floors.htm">clean laminate floors</a> or hardwood, which don’t do well with steam cleaning.</p></div>

What rooms should not have carpet?

• <div><p>Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.</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: Do you put anything under carpet tiles?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don&rsquo;t need to put anything under carpet tiles&mdash;unlike regular carpet, which often has a layer of carpet padding beneath it. Carpet tiles attach directly to the floor (as long as it&rsquo;s a firm surface like plywood, concrete, or tile) with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or carpet glue.</p></div>

Q: Do you really need padding under carpet?

• <div><p>If you want your carpet to last as long as possible, then yes, you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-need-carpet-padding.htm">need to install carpet padding</a>. Carpet padding creates a layer of protection between the back of your carpet and the floor beneath it, which decreases friction and reduces wear and tear. Aside from that, carpet padding also helps absorb noise and makes your carpet feel more comfortable underfoot.</p></div>

Mitch moved our cable, internet, and phone lines to a better location, and he installed 3 phone jacks for land lines in my house. He put the lines right where I wanted them, finishing promptly and even vacuuming up the floor before he left.

When water flows the wrong way in a hydronic floor system, the flow meters clog and restrict the floor. Quite amazing to find that the flow was going in the wrong direction.

They were excellent. The installer was able to level our cement slab. He put the flooring in at a diagonal direction. We love the product and the installation. When a different contractor marred the floor Slaughterbeck came and fixed it on their way to another job.
