About 5 years ago my dad put Pergo floors downin our house. It seems like now I am noticing thatwhen it is humid and/or rainy there is moistureon top ot the flooring. I didn't notice this the firstfew years. My dad said many people are having trouble with Pergo floors and ripping them up?JUst wondered what could be causing this.It makes the floors feel sticky and never lookclean. I am probably gonna pull them up soon. Anyone have a good suggestion forflooring in a home with kids/pets? Thanks
The floor is acting like a vapor barrier. The problem is not with the floors but your ventilation. You need a dehumidifier and you will be all cured.
I have pergo floors as well and the answer about ventilation is spot on the mark. I was sure to use a rubber based padding as when when I installed mine to prevent any moisture. Is it possible that you live in a very humid area? I don't know the specifics. It may be best to check with a reputable local contractor. I have lived all over the United States and each area carries with it, their own separate building challenges.
