Help! does any one know of a way to remove an engineered hardwood floor that has been glued to concrete?

Ya, actually I do.

This is a tear out for a variation claim.

Cut the floor into strips across the grain, about every 3 to 6 inches.

Then bust it out. You can see my electric jack hammer in the picture.


Then you have to do the floor prep to flatten the substrate, before you can install the new.
