I fitted a hardwood (strand woven bamboo) floor last year on top of concrete which had a self levelling compound applied by a former builder.

It turns out the floor isn't quite level and there is a dip under one plank. This has caused the board to crack (unnoticable unless standing on it).

The floor is glued together and would be massive job to replace. I have seen people talking about injecting stuff under the boards. What's the best way to go about doing this and what's the best thing to use?
 
ok my thoughts
do not use any foaming product on small dips
what size is the dip ??
my thoughts are wood glue pumped in every 200mm or so through a 3-5mm hole to say 30% fill the void and stand on the dip to form strings between the surfaces
this assumes around 5mm -8mm dip
anymore would require something like no nails of foaming pu glue but carefully controlled with walking on the area to pump under again 30% if no nails but around 10-15% if pu foaming glue with perhaps a plank or simillar weighed down to stop the area rising needs to be left in place for a few days
