footings
Q. Had footings poured, just after they finished, it poured rain all night. Now, there is water standing in the footings, will it need to be repoured or will it be ok.
A. The footings should be OK. The surface is probably pitted and maybe some of the aggregate is exposed, but if the footings are 8 - 10 inches thick and 16 - 20 inches wide they should be just fine.
