Planning for spring. Hardwood floor and glue removal

[stevie888]

So maybe <30 days and cold weather.

I'd say it's likely the screed hadn't thoroughly dried out: simple as that and if so then the floor layer should have advised waiting.

The hollow in your first pic just looks like bad levelling in the screed

Was poured in in mid november. Floor laid mid december ...
So sand cement screed, is it good or bad news.

If its a regular sand/cement mix, it will take approx 4 weeks for every 2cm of depth to dry out. The floor should have had the moisture tested with a Hydrometer Box or equivalent to make sure it was dry (74% RH or below) before install, or, a Liquid DPM applied before installing the floor for a fast track installation.

So yes, it's almost certainly a moisture issue caused by yet another builder that thinks they are a floor layer.

I would say the screed looks like S&C, good news.

What was pumped in then... presume it was the concrete under the screed?

Hell know whats under the floorboards )
