Re: Concrete- dry time before tiling/ laminate/ timber 3Jun 16, 2018 11:39 am Constec construction The concrete needs to cure before applying floor finishes over. If timber floor, leave as long as you can. But 5% moisture content is best. You can apply a hydropoxy or drizoro max seal membrane over to keep moisture off if required sooner. Thank you for that! We are also a little worried because it was slab over slab (about 300mm of slab over existing slab). Our builder didn't put waterproofing over before pouring the new concrete. There, theorectically, is waterproofing under the original slab and the pond- theoretically because we were not there 20 years ago to see it done! Is that a huge concern? Can the hydropoxy/ drizoro max seal help with the situation? thanks! It's possible but a soak well is usually much larger. Your 'soak well' only holds 424 litres when full. What is your soil type?
