Question regarding vapour barriers

4 years ago

Heres the situation..

My contractor installed golden select splashguard laminate flooring in my basement. I was told since this flooring came with a pre-installed foam backing, i did not need to install any other underlayment/vapour barrier.

I just read now (post installation) that when installed in a basement (on concrete) it is suggested to install on top of an additional vapour barrier.

Side note, i do have a vapour barrier installed under my concrete basement slab.

My question, what should i be worried about, if anything?

Is it fine? Should i rip everything out and redo it to install a vapour barrier? Is there a potential that the floor just warps or we’re talking worse, like potential mood problems?
