Jan 20, 2026 | Blog Tips, Video Tips

Hi everyone, it’s Pierre with Overview Property Inspection!

If you’re thinking about installing LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) in your basement, here’s a key tip:

Check your slab first. Your basement floor needs to be smooth, level, and true. Uneven slabs can cause joints to pull apart, hollow spots, or even premature failure — and no one wants that.

💡 Pro tips:

  • Always follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines to keep your warranty valid.
  • Pay attention to layout requirements; some brands prefer offsets rather than perfectly aligned rows.
  • If the slab isn’t suitable, consider alternative flooring, such as glue-down LVT or carpet.

✅ Bottom line: Proper prep saves you money, stress, and future repairs.
