ᐅ Hole in screed (approximately 8 mm wide and 8 mm deep) in the top layer of the screed

Hi,

I am about to install carpet over a roughly 17-year-old (relatively new) screed floor. The surface is very even, and I have meticulously removed all minor protrusions (such as spilled filler and similar).

Now I was ready to start with the carpet (not fully glued down) when I suddenly noticed a single, small hole in the screed at the last moment. It is about 8mm (0.3 inches) in diameter and approximately 8mm (0.3 inches) deep (the screed itself is 6cm (2.4 inches) thick). The hole appeared superficially rust-brown. After cleaning by scraping, only the edges remain slightly brown.

Does this hole necessarily need to be filled, or can I simply lay the carpet over it?

Thank you very much for any advice!

Thanks for the feedback.
I sealed it with rapid-setting cement.
The working group for root cause analysis seems absolutely justified to me – suggestions for which industry specialists could be suitable for two to three opening speeches at the event are welcome...

A hole is a hole is a hole—as long as you can’t see through it, I give my okay to ignoring it 😉
