Default Re: Poured Concrete Foundation Question???

Hey Mark, I own a civil engineering firm and small construction co....I also helped build a college football stadium that was all poured concrete...this is very common..typical engineered structures are overdesigned and overbuilt just for such instances...if the void(s) are relatively small I would not worry about it..if they are large, i would definitely point them out to the contractor...We did fill the voids by hand at the stadium, but that was more of a cosmetic fix...at this point, filling the voids is going to add little structural value...just make sure that the area is sealed/waterproofed very well....but typically, it is just that the concrete was not vibrated well enough in that area...it's usually nothing to worry about!!

Congrats and Good Luck on the new house!!

P.S. are you putting in a basement access to store the Z'sss????
