Craig-49 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Hi, I have dug out the trenches for my single storey extension it rained heavily over night. I should have protected them......The water has drained away over the last day but the soil is wet. Do I need to dig down further prior to casting the concrete?

Mattg4321 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Being wet isn't a problem, if that's what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 The bottom of the tench should be firm and free of sludge... You might need to get a shovel out and do a bit of scraping. But not likely after a night of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 just make sure not too much water is left in the trench, BCO dont like too much as it weakens the conc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
