The base slab has now also become really misshapen and certainly no longer flat... see [Bild 3], in the middle barely any water, on the outer sides almost a hand's breadth deep water.

I have


Your word in the ear of God, but I have learned that concrete does not set properly anymore if the binder is washed out, which can be seen by the cleanly washed pebbles. But no question, of course, I would prefer if everything is correct.

I also still see a difference between a thunderstorm downpour and heavy rain. In the pictures, you can see what craters the drops leave on the water surface when they hit. They were thick and very fast!

We are on the construction site; not in the dental technology laboratory.

Just because there are a few small stones visible does not mean the binder of the panel is completely gone.

But it can only be said for sure tomorrow or by the experts on site.

The pictures are not conclusive.

The question I would rather ask myself is what kind of post-treatment is planned for the concrete.

Covering? Wetting? Spraying?

Wetting and spraying was intended.

I'm just worried about the words of the floor slab construction manager. An hour before the heavy rain, he said a little rain would be a great post-treatment, but rain like yesterday would be really bad.... Sure enough, we had the heavy rain like yesterday.

Well. The top layer doesn't seem to be properly bonded anymore. The house will probably still stand on it.
