Spent $800 on a 'waterproof' vinyl flooring and now I've got mold behind the toilet
The sales guy swore it was fine for bathrooms but the seam lifted after 3 months and water got underneath. Anyone else get burned by that 'luxury vinyl' hype in a wet area?

A dinner plate sized colony? That's nightmare fuel right there.

Man, that's rough. A buddy of mine put that same stuff in his half bath and the exact same thing happened. He thought he was being smart with the 'waterproof' claim and paid a premium for it. Six months later, he pulled up the toilet to find a black mold colony the size of a dinner plate behind the baseboard. He ended up having to rip it all out and go back to basic sheet vinyl, which has been dry as a bone for three years now. That 'luxury vinyl' marketing is a trap for bathrooms in my book.
