Weird flooring issue

Long story short, basement floods in spring time every year. We get about an inch of water on half of our basement (the side without the Sump pump ofc). To counteract this, we put down plastic pallets. Issue is? The tops have lots of holes and they wiggle around because the floor isn't level. My thought is to put some type of flooring on top of them, something I can screw into them to keep them stable. My workshop will be on these pallets, so I need wheels to be able roll on the surface, as well as breathability so there's no chance of mold. It's our first year in the house at the start of spring, and the previous owners didn't own a dehumidifier. We do, and it helped MASSIVELY last year. I guess my question is, what can I put down that can be rolled on without poking holes in it, while also having breathability? I don't care how it looks really, as it'll get dirty from my workshop eventually anyways. I more want functionality. submitted by /u/ShaduKat [link] [comments]
