I was wondering about that because of something I was just watching on
HGTV (I admit it). They were talking about the backerboard they were
going to us.

I think the only way to solve this is to pull them up to see what's
there. If we buy it, we'll do that anyway. Even in our house where
we live now we have painted concrete floors and I think that would be
ideal at a lake house.

Thanks, folks!

Underlayment might swell, causing tile to shift. Tile obviously will
not buckle, it might crack. Photos might help, and if there is a major
problem with the slab, there likely would be cracks apparent at the
perimiter.
