Hi all,
Having dug out a meter square hole from my lounge floor (clay) and dug a trench under the front wall for a new mains supply, the hole has half filled with water (1 foot).
now i can empty it but when the pipe is finished, inspected etc i need to back fill, the question is what do i back fill the hole with which will stop the water collecting. I will be concreting over with a new floor and dont want to cause subsidence, movement in the wall, damp issues or crack my concrete slab.
any advice welcome please
