Note: If your slab moves or is allowing water into the new floors due to lack of sealer it will damage any flooring attached to it. The damage is usually a crack or chip.  Be sure to reseal your floors as needed following all the manufacturers instructions or hire is to clean and seal them for you.  If the damage is due to a new/existing slab crack your slab is telling you that it needs to move.  Do not repair a crack that is moving it will only do it again.  Just put in a colored caulking that will allow it to flex. 

All cracks in your finished floors are caused by either slab movement or moisture from not resealing as needed
Efflorescence is excess slab moisture forcing salts (white/tan power) to the surface damaging the floors
Efflorescence will even damage polished or stain and sealed floors
Efflorescence damage can be repaired
