Why is my concrete floor saturated with water?
The sand layer becomes saturated with water from wet curing (water added to the top of the slab leaks down into the sand layer through service penetrations) or from irrigation (water added to the ground at the building perimeter enters the sand layer from the side or from underneath) or from rain (see wet curing and irrigation).
Why do I have sand in my water?

How is the sand layer of a concrete floor wet?
The sand layer is wetted by “liquid phase wetting” in a time frame measured in minutes. Whereas, the sand layer can only dry upwards by “vapor phase drying” in a time frame measured in years. You can do a simple experiment at homeboys and girls.
What happens if you have standing water on your hardwood floor?
If not caught very quickly, there will be no chance of repairing the hardwood floor. Another reason water seeping through the floors is such a serious issue is if you have a two story home or live in a multi-level apartment complex. The standing water can cause the flooring and sheetrock below to be compromised and it could collapse altogether.
What kind of sand do you use to build a wall?
