Hello,
Today our aquarium broke, and a large amount of water spilled out at once. We have insurance, but we might consider skipping the building insurance since there are discounts if you don’t make a claim, and you only get 2-3 claims before cancellation anyway.
I removed everything and took up the laminate flooring. Attached are some pictures.
Do you think heating the screed for 1-2 weeks (there is underfloor heating) will be enough to resolve the issue? Currently, the heating is set to 5 out of 6, and the vapor barrier is folded over as shown in the picture. Or is it necessary to use a professional construction dryer with all the equipment? The laminate can be salvaged, as well as the vapor barrier and everything else.
The cabinet is completely ruined, but fortunately, we have household contents insurance that covers it.

Hi,
Yeah, it looks better on the home monitor too. In the office earlier, it really looked like a chipboard...
Again: What kind of screed?
Cement screed – no problem, just let it dry and that’s it.
Anhydrite screed – you probably have a serious issue....
Best regards,
Andreas

where is the wood supposed to be? In one of the pictures you can clearly see the screed with the soundproofing membrane lifted up.

It is a standard screed without fast-drying properties, unlike, for example, at Viebrockhaus.
The screed is also very damp; I think it has absorbed all the water completely.
The insurance surveyor will come tomorrow afternoon. I requested this (they originally didn’t want to send one and preferred to settle otherwise), because I don’t want to deal with unpleasant odors in 2-3 years. There is nothing to hide or anything like that.
