Brand new construction slab on ground. Soil is sand and clay. Lot has a bad history of stormwater drain issues. Recently an underground drain system was placed in to remove storm water from two flat roofs (two condo buildings 32 units each). This has exacerbatered the water removal and now the water is backing up towards the building foundation. Recently my slab displayed cracks along the lines of the footings. The footing are not new - originals footing reused when building was reconstrcted after fire. Moisture readings inside the unit are 75% (outside 48%) and water comes up through the cracks in the slab throughout the unit (whole unit!). Other than moving the water away from the foundation why is there still water coming up? How would it get in? There is a high water table on top of the other issues (shore area). water seems to come in during high tides and full moons...
