About a year ago I hired a sub-contractor to pour a mud floor over radiant heat tubing in a 2nd floor bedroom/bathroom addition. Since the bathroom will be tiled and the bedroom will be carpeted, the ‘sub’ used a different consistency of mud for each room.
Now, a year later, the bathroom floor is tiled and there isn’t a crack to be seen. BUT, the floor of the bedroom has developed several long cracks.
Does anyone out there have a suggestion about how to fix this problem before I lay the carpet? I would appreciate any help or info. – Rich M.

I'm sure you can get a concrete patch for the cracks, but if you are going to cover it carpet, who cares if the concrete is cracked?
Check to see if your subfloor is flexing.
