Hello all. I've got a roughed-in bathroom in my unfinished Seattle basement. We've had a lot of rain the last few days (so called "atmospheric river"), which we experience 1 or 2 times/year. I noticed yesterday that the dirt around my under-slab tub/shower drain was moist. Today, after much more rain, I now have water pooling around the drains under the slab (see pic)
The water below has not made its way up above--looks like it just barely touched the bottom of the 3 inch slab. And I've never had water show up in the basement (above/on the slab) before. Should I be concerned about this, and if so, do anything else to keep the bathroom area dry before putting flooring in/finishing the basement? I already installed a vapor barrier under the slab, but a bigger rain storm will undoubtedly happen in the future...
