We had somewhat less than an inch but soaked into our carpets in the basement.
We vacuumed it out.

I want to use something on that floor other than carpets. I've heard from a
flooring guy that the only thing to cover it completely that won't allow water
under it is ceramic tile.  I really don't want to spend that much money.

Any suggestions on what to put on concrete to dress it up?  I cleaned scrubbed
sanded and etched my garage floor before putting down epoxy paint and it still
lifted at places.
