The water continues to spread
Shortly after my last post on the water in my basement, I went downstairs after all, to find that the puddle has spread to one of the throw rugs deeper into the middle of the basement, soaking about half of it.
This isn't intrinsically a bad thing. Our throw rugs in the basement are polypropylene, which means they were made to be hosed off periodically; getting wet won't hurt them a bit. But I don't like the thought of wet rugs lying on our tile floor, with the water slooowly seeping around the tile edges, gradually weakening the mastic.
Grrr. I need to call my favorite handyman and get waterproofing expert recommendations. Stat.
