hold on - I didn't consider that.

The house has a basement underneath but not under the whole house. THe basement is very wet and when it's raining strongly, the water pushes through one of the inner walls. It is exactly below this spot!! And the outside is also inclined towards the house. If puddles build up outside, the water flows right into the wall.

This is actually a pretty good guess, holy shit. I have to think about that.

If you look for Tatami tiles, that's another type of closed cell EVA foam tile, also commonly called judo mats (normally 7/8" thick) or MMA mats (normally 1" thick). A step up from that would be cross-linked polyethylene foam (XLPE), with a vinyl facing; these are marketed as lightweight home wrestling mats. If you go that route, you will want rollout mats over folding mats for a more permanent installation.

Check out the video section here for some great and overly dramatic explanations:

(They have some very extensive buyer's guides on this site too.)
