Hello, maybe someone has an idea or can reassure me. It’s about a spot (about 1m) on the base slab that has always remained damp after it rained (marked in red). The soil on site was immediately removed again, so it couldn’t have come from there, it was already there before.
Where it was dry for a longer time, this spot also disappeared. Before the house was set up last week, it was very rainy and the spot appeared again. Then when the house stood for a few days, the spot disappeared again. However, yesterday evening it rained heavily again and now a minimal damp spot is showing again, see photos. Also inside, at the cutouts for the pipes, it is damp under the slab, I saw that earlier. Where could that come from? (I didn’t check before yesterday’s rain if these spots were already dry)
The plumbing company is coming at the end of the week and the screed at the end of next week.
I have already spoken with the building surveyor, we have to check if water is coming from above, but he can’t really say much more now. But I almost doubt that, because the house is sealed now. Under the base slab there is a 120mm perimeter insulation with foil and a very thick gravel layer (almost 2m below clay soil) with 5cm of crushed stone, plus frost skirts. The base slab contractor said maybe residual moisture/condensation.
What do you think? Thanks in advance.
