September 24, 20242 yr 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? Cheers
September 24, 20242 yr 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.
September 25, 20242 yr just make sure not too much water is left in the trench, BCO dont like too much as it weakens the conc.
