I got asked to tile a floor in regents park last year for a builder , very old house with a kitchen in the basement the builder had everything on site , backer boards electric under floor heating etc, before starting the client asked us to have a look at his kitchen floor in the basement which had been tiled by the builders other tiler in 90x90 porcelain, over insulation (Blue stuff no cement webbing on it ) and ufh, some tiles were loose and one was cracked , we took up the cracked one and the backs of the tiles were saturated with water , the water pressure seemed to have caused the other tiles to seprate from the adhesive but all the tiles we took wet on the back
I didnt tile the other floor in the basement and with further investigation and talking to a few guys from the forum , it turns out that some floors need to remain breathable and materials that allow this should be used old buildings often have limestone and lime mortars for this purpose so be careful what you decide to put over the floor if you think their is no dpm
