Remove the pach of damp ashphelt, allow the floor to dry .then paint the pach of floor that has been removed with upv glue,this will seal from damp,then fill in the hole with levelling compound.wicks do one that is a deep base leveling compound,it is self leveling and can be used to fill in from 5mm up to 45mm and drys in 2 hours! it worked for me very easy to do. good luck tip ad some upv glue to the mix.
