Thanks, that's the best piece of news/advice I've heard yet. The Delta-FL sounds the most intriguing (as it would be easiest to ship).

No, this is not in a basement. It's actually our living room. The suggestion has been made that there may be a pipe leak under the slab somewhere. I think it is more likely that the piece of land on which our townhouse is situated is a peninsular surrounded by water. We suspect that the ground is essentially landfill made up of dredged material from the bay. The houses are 30+ years old. This could explain hydrostatic pressure from underneath the slab.

What is surprising is the reaction that we get when we call contractors and flooring specialists and put the two words "Pergo" and "moisture" in the same sentence. One guy said he wouldn't touch this project with a ten-foot pole.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate any extra thoughts anyone might have on the subject.
