had a minor flood in the basement bathroom. vinyl floor tiles lifted.
what's the best way to re-install them?



Quick answer ... there is none ... you wont like the cure but ...

Scrape them off your floor, clean the concrete underneath and lay real
tile. It will improve the value of your home and look so much nicer. Be
sure and mix real mortar to lay them, not the ready mix glue they try to
push off at the big box stores.

Unfortunately basements can be leaky and are inherently damp, deal with
it permanently.
