I installed a radon fan in my basement to deal with a damp slab due to a missing vapor barrier under half the floor.
After I drilled a hole thru the floor I pulled out as much pea gravel under the slab as far as I could reach. After a day or so I saw some standing water in the hole but I hoped the pull from the radon fan would dry it out but that didn't happen.
My next move was to drill a hole near the bottom of the PVC pipe and pull out the water with a drill pump.
We just had a lot of rain over the past week and I was able to pull out about 4 1/2 gallons of water over a two day period.
Do you think I had so much water near the pvc pipe because I created a low spot?
