Day 15, another picture!

Well, we had a serious leak in our dishwasher which caused water to seep in under our hard wood floors. It actually caused a "rise" in several planks and was rather bothersome. Well, today, they came out to rip up our floor and wow were the floors wet underneath. Who ever laid the floors years ago used linoleum as the moisture barrier and a water solvent glue. Well, what happens when water gets into a water solvent glue????????? It separates and comes apart causing the wood floor to swell and rise. Our floor was off the meter on the moisture meter, well over a 6! Now I have bare concrete in my kitchen until the concrete dries, then the moisture barrier will be placed down, again another day or 2 to dry and then the planks. Here are a few pictures of my kitchen in its current state. All of these pictures are SOOC (straight out of the camera) with no processing done on them so pardon the color.

Can you see the dampness of the concrete?

The water damage under the flooring caused the other planks to "wave" so they had to take up about an 8x8 section.

The underside of the removed pieces of flooring with the vinyl still attached. VERY wet!

Off the meter moisture readings!

The final view after all the planks and remainder of the glue were scraped off the concrete. Don't ask me why the concrete looks like that, I have no idea. Those white areas are also circled in red, so not sure what that means?????
