Hello everyone,
we visited the site yesterday and noticed that there are large puddles in one room in particular. I was wondering where they could be coming from since the ceiling is already installed.
I should mention that it rained heavily the day before. One might think that, because there are no windows installed yet, the rain simply came in directly. That could be possible.
What surprises me, however, is that in the adjacent kitchen, there is no water on the concrete slab. Okay, there is only a patio door on the wall, and the living room with windows has two large windows. But the kitchen is completely dry. And when I go to the upper floor, the ceiling there is also more or less dry, even though the structure doesn’t have a roof yet and it’s said to have rained.
Could the water be coming from underneath the concrete slab? Or could it be water that seeps around the house or does not drain properly, soaking into the slab and pressing up from below?
It can’t be groundwater since that is about 30 meters (100 feet) deep.
Strange... or is it harmless and just rainwater?
Maybe someone has an idea or explanation.

The top dries faster because wind or sun can help with this process.
We cannot assess the room situation on the ground floor!
But it comes down to the fact that where puddles form, drying is slower.
And yes – it will definitely be rainwater, or do you think the concrete is bleeding out now?
Relax!

If you start worrying now about a wet concrete slab after rain, you won’t be able to get any sleep over the next few months.
