Concrete drying time
Would not a dpm just under the slab tend to wear out rather fast letting all
those problems reoccur?

Logic would suggest that if you have a DPM below the concrete then the
only way out for the moisture is through the top surface. I believe
curing time for concrete is 28 days.
I have not consulted this site in a while but checking it out may

I always thought proper drying time was a month per inch of concrete,
i.e. longer than you expect.
You can put a secondary dpc on top of the slab.
where then would the moisture go? (I thought that was why DPM above the
slab was an /alternative/ to DPM below it.)
