Hello everyone,
We have been living in our house for about 3 months now, and this morning I noticed that the anhydrite screed in our dining room is "moving." When pressure is applied, there is a creaking sound in one spot in front of our floor-to-ceiling window. The tile covering does not sound hollow, and everything looks "normal" from above. Is this something you just have to accept? I've heard that screed can continue to behave like this for years. When should I start to worry—apart from the noise, which is annoying...
I would appreciate any ideas. Oh, and of course, we only installed the floor covering after the recommended residual moisture level was reached.

Hi,
I’ll bring this up. We also have anhydrite screed, and after drying, it creaked as well. It wasn’t too bad, but still annoying. We then lifted the carpet and found cracks in the screed. We injected synthetic resin into those cracks.
After a short time, the creaking stopped, and there have been no noises there ever since.
Best regards
