Had to choose between a full glue down or a floating floor for a concrete slab job
The homeowner wanted the look of engineered wood but the slab had some minor moisture. I went with a full glue down using a premium vapor barrier adhesive. It added a day to the schedule but the floor feels rock solid now. Anyone have a different go-to method for slightly damp slabs?

My uncle's 1970s split-level had the same problem, a slab that just always felt damp. You see this everywhere now, houses built on ground that just wasn't ready for it. That extra day you spent is what separates a job that lasts from one you have to redo in five years. People want the quick fix, but the right prep is the whole game.
