My idiot contractor hired some dummies to do the flooring install in my house. I'm about 99% sure they forgot to install underlayment, since they left 3/4 of the underlayment material a I bought unopened.
The flooring is a click-lock, stranded, solid bamboo from Floor and Decor, 3.5 inches wide, on a concrete subfloor. The floor feels like it might a little bit wavy, and there is some very light crackling/popping under weight, but is otherwise ok. They did remember to let it acclimate.
What are the possible consequences? Is it worth pulling up and putting underlayment underneath, or should I just let it be?
Pulling the baseboards is not an issue, because they screwed that up too, and I have to do it anyway. They may have also forgotten to leave a proper expansion gap, but I won't know for sure until I pull the trim.
