ᐅ Basement foundation poured, 4 hours of severe storm conditions

Hello everyone,

I’m new to the forum but have been reading the interesting posts for some time.

I have a problem that is very important to me. Yesterday, around 3 PM, the foundation of my house was poured. At first, it only rained lightly, but then a heavy thunderstorm came with a lot of rain. There is now at least 5cm (2 inches) of water standing on the foundation.

Is that much water harmful to the foundation? In addition, the rain caused the slope to wash out (like a landslide), so now hundreds of kilograms of sand are lying on the foundation.
The house is being built by a developer.

Who is responsible for this now?

This doesn’t seem normal, does it?
I’ve attached a photo.

Thank you in advance for your answers or advice.

An insurance company?

So it seems that not only the house but also the land belongs to the developer. In that case, I would say it’s not your concern. Let the developer handle it.

If there was a storm (by the way, a cool new term), it can be quite normal for it to look like that afterward. Whether that’s acceptable or not, professionals should answer.

I am impressed. Ideally, the insurance will cover this. On the other hand, the creator of this structure is responsible for slope stabilization. Whether this prevented damage or reduced its extent is debatable. However, this should be the concern of your contractual partners.

You meant the storm with the new creation, right?

Learned something new again, but it at least doesn’t seem to come from the current language anymore.
