I am about to have laminate installed in two rooms of my house. I decided to tear out the carpet and tack strips myself to save a little cash. The carpet came up easy, but as I started to tear out the tack strips I noticed the concrete subflooring popping up around the tacks. Why is this and how can one avoid it?

Don't be concerned as they will never be seen and the floor will float right over it...UNLESS they're huge?
