I need to remove carpet glue from our basement concrete floor any
suggestions?

I'd guess that depends on what you're putting down in place of the
carpet. Do you need bare concrete or just something smooth enough for
new carpet / laminate?

From concrete, use a solvent. Many might work, I'll leave it to you to find
a reasonably priced product that is not too volitile. Some paint stippers
might work.

If the concrete was very smooth and well sealed, you might do it with a heat
gun and a sharp scraper

You might be able to scrap it up with a floor scraper. It is like a
paint scraper but bigger and has replacible razor blade tip.
Becareful, sharp.

I recently took up the file in a room that I plan on carpeting. If I
repair the concrete that was damaged with some holes, can I just put
the carpeting right over it or should I take up the glue that held on
the tiles also?
