I would get it dried out and than cover it with plastic vs. paint.
Flooded Basement floor
Hello We had a flood in our finished basement due to overfilling utility sink. he basement was remolded prior to us moving in 18 months ago. The press board foam backed laminite soaked up the water like a sponge. had to be ALL ripped out. There were peal and stick tiles under the laminate also that had to be removed as water got under most of them. What I have now is about 500 sq' of sticky smelling concrete floor. Ventilation to outside is not an option as windows dont open. Thats another project down road.
We are having the laminate floor replaced, but scheduling wont happen till late March early April. It will be a "floating" floor. Its pretty dry now as
sub-grade concrete moisture content 8% to 12% and dry to the touch.
MY QUESTION is, could I paint the floor with "basement/porch" paint to 1) so I can walk around with my shoes sticking to the floor and, 2) to seal in and residual glue smells we have now. We are using on of those plug in air fresh things
