Hello all,
First time poster here, hoping I can get some help.
My wife has asked me to lay engineered wood flooring in our dining room. I pulled up the carpet to take a look and beneath the underlay is the concrete (I’m guessing) floor covered in this black, tar like substance. It’s very hard and kind of chips off at the edges almost like glass (please see photos).
Any ideas what this is, and can I lay engineered wood flooring directly onto this using adhesive? Could it just be something to keep the damp out? I’ve heard things about asbestos....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
