I did a quick search here, but not what I wanted came up.
We have 1965 house built on concrete slab. It's unknown if they installed a DPM and even they did, it could be compromised after so many years.
Looking to install either engineered wood flooring or LVT (depends how far our budget goes..) but both require a dry subfloor.
At the moment it's finger parquet stuck with bitumen.
I would look to go belt and braces by stripping back the parquet, possibly grinding out the bitumen, levelling screed, liquid DPM and more levelling screed until desired thickness achieved.
Question: what is the maximum, safe moisture reading for non DPM concrete? I would hire a professional meter.
