I cut my drywall about 4 inches above the floor. I then covered that gap with a rubber kick board I found at Lowe’s. In the hopes that any water doesn’t rise to the Sheetrock before it hits the drain. It’s an experiment that I hope works. Not the most attractive solution, but not really bad either.

I very well might steal that idea. Do you plan to remove the kick board if the basement floods to let the studs dry out? That’s a lot easier than replacing an entire floor.

That’s my idea. Pull the floor/kick board and put fans everywhere.
