Topic "Floating floor over damaged concrete slab" a message from hammeringhomebody

Hi! So, i've just bought a house and i'm trying to fix it up myself (for lack of money). The previous owners had carpet installed over the concrete slab in one of the rooms, and the nails holding it in rusted and broke off. Bottom line is, the concrete has small divots in it all around the room where i took the nails out after removing the carpet. Probably about 1" across, maybe 1/4" to 1/2" deep. I have a floating engineered wood floor ready to put in, with 3-in-1 moisture barrier/insulation/padding underlayment for underneath. I'm wondering, do i need to fill in all of the divots left by the nails, or will my underlayment ride successfully over them?
Thanks!
