I picked up a used berber carpet that I want to lay down on my basement floor. It doesnt cover the entire floor, about less then half of it. I was wondering is this a good or bad idea. I don't get any water in the basement but if I run the dehumidifer all day and night it will be filled by the next day. I do notice a chalk looking growth on the floor of basement and what looks to be a water stain outline where I had layed down some rubber locking mat that kids usually play on.

Will this carpet make mildew and mold?
