Rugs, Carpets and Carpeting - carpet in basement

I have a basement floor area I want to carpet. Its approx 10 by 12. The floor is concrete. Occasionaly I have water seep down the sides of the walls of this area. and the water will trickle to the floor drain/ My question is what carpet would I Use ( like olefin?). I want a short pile. something that could stand getting mildly wet if the case happened to be although I am working on the water problem. Can I just glue the carpet to the concrete floor? I really don't need a pad and am worried how a pad would hold up if it got wet. Do I need to put down sheet plastic underneath the carpet as a vapor barrier first? Thanks

jUST BUY AN INDOOR/OUTDOOR LOW PILE LEVEL LOOP OLEFIN AND GLUE IT DOWN.

oops, I didnt mean to shout

thanks. no need for sheeting than

also make sure you use all weather outdoor adhesive and have plenty of ventilation and

NO OPEN FLAMES LIKE PILOT LIGHTS

Yes I meant to shout that!

I used TEC Contract Carpet and Flooring adhesive. It seems to have worked really well. I don't know if it was flammable or not but I used it fairly close to the pilot light on my hot water boiler furnace.

If its not rated for outdoor use it'll come loose when it gets wet
