Homes in the Old Northeast, many dating back to the 1920s, frequently feature pier-and-beam foundations, which require careful subfloor inspection for rot or unevenness.

The plank itself is 100% waterproof — water cannot damage the core or wear layer. However, standing water that sits in seams can eventually reach the subfloor, which is typically not waterproof. 'Waterproof floor' means the product, not the installation.
