Concrete – Damp concrete floor in bedroom

concreteflooringwet

Had water overflow into bedroom and closet. New laminate floor removed.
Concrete floor has glue strips from another flooring that is sticky in some
places. Will thoroughly clean with as little water as possible

Q. When all cleaning is done and floor dries for a week, Can I seal the concrete and begin covering? I know the floor will not be completely dry in a week.

I am thinking of painting the floor or trying the paper floor as water
seems to be a problem 3rd time, no children. Is Dry Lock or Bone Dry best as I
have serious allergies.
Thanks

Had the same issue, used a sealant (couple of coats), then an underlayment (vapor barrier), which worked well on my laminate flooring. Suggest you use a fan and dehumidifier during those high humidity days.
