House slab
Page 1 of 1
Yesterday our house slab was poured. And from 4am this morning Perth has been bucketing down with rain and isn't expected to ease off until lunch time.
What I'm worried about if the rain will affect the slab at all?

The worst thing for concrete is hot dry weather that allows the slab to dry out to quick.
It's all good. Infact ponding of water on a new slab is a good thing as it helps with the curing.

Oh that's great to hear. I've sent an email off to the builder to ask also and I haven't heard back from them and I haven't been told who my site supervisor is yet so I couldn't even ask him either.
Thanks for putting my mind at ease

Thanks for the insights, that makes perfect sense, and yeah, I will be leaning on the experience of the excavator operator entirely.
