RiverTown, FL
Waterproof flooring installation by Gator Carpet & Tile starts with a full moisture assessment — meter testing the slab or subfloor, identifying any active moisture sources, and specifying the correct waterproofing system for the space. We install SPC LVP, tile with epoxy grout, and other waterproof systems with the sealing, transitions, and perimeter detail work that makes a waterproof installation actually waterproof. Sitting directly on the St. Johns River means RiverTown has some of the highest ambient humidity readings in St. Johns County. River-facing homes experience regular fog and morning dew that works into every gap and transition. We use commercial-grade moisture barriers and fully waterproof LVP for all ground-floor installations in RiverTown.
Moisture testing → identify and address active moisture sources → subfloor prep → product selection based on moisture readings and use case → installation with full perimeter sealing and waterproof transitions.
RiverTown is all new construction, with homes being delivered from 2018 to the present. Dream Finders, Mattamy, and Lennar are among the active builders. Open floor plans with large sliding doors to lanai spaces are common — this indoor-outdoor connection means flooring transitions need to be carefully planned and executed with appropriate thresholds and transitions.

Waterproof Flooring Installation in RiverTown
Large-format porcelain tile with epoxy grout is the most waterproof bathroom floor option — zero water absorption, no grout to seal, and impervious to the humidity levels of a Florida bathroom. SPC luxury vinyl plank with sealed transitions is the second-best option for bathrooms.
Yes — outdoor-rated porcelain tile is the best choice for screened lanais and semi-outdoor spaces in Florida. It handles temperature swings, moisture, and direct water exposure better than any other material. We specify tile with a slip-resistance rating appropriate for wet conditions.
The flooring itself may be waterproof, but the subfloor beneath it may still need a moisture barrier — especially over concrete slabs. We install moisture barriers under LVP in any space where slab moisture readings exceed product specifications.
