Older method — adhesive applied to the tongue-and-groove joint, not the subfloor. Adds rigidity.
Many properties near Hope Mills Lake, particularly those built before 2000, have pier-and-beam foundations that require careful subfloor assessment for moisture and structural integrity. The 44 days annually above 90°F means flooring materials like luxury vinyl plank or engineered wood demand extended acclimation periods to prevent expansion or contraction issues.

No. Despite widespread marketing of 'waterproof laminate,' laminate has a High Density Fiberboard (HDF) core that swells when exposed to moisture. The surface resists quick spills, but standing water at seams or moisture from below will damage laminate. LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is the genuinely waterproof alternative.
