    Whats everyone's go to prep for lvt when lignite is in the slab?

    Being honest I'd not heard of it until 12 months ago when we had a rep out so probably gone over many over the years.

    Now I know I'm seeing it more and more.

    Dig it out and replace with a new concrete base that doesn’t contain lignite, welcome to hell.
