How Cotton Belt Elementary School solved their moisture challenge without costly mitigation
Subfloor moisture is one of the most costly challenges dealers face in K-12 renovations. It can lead to failed flooring, peeling carpet tiles, and expensive remediation.
At Cotton Belt Elementary in York, South Carolina, subfloor humidity reached 99% and caused widespread flooring failure. Instead of installing costly mitigation systems, the district partnered with Milliken to install cushion-backed modular carpet engineered to manage moisture.
The result was a durable solution that simplified installation and helped save an estimated $255,000 in remediation and installation costs.
