Tore up basement concrete: water pooling up around pipes
I'm renovating my basement and adding a toilet, shower and sink. Tore up concrete and dug around cast iron stack and drain pipes to be replaced and I'm noticing a bit of water pooling up around the pipes. Wondering if I was too rough with the shovel? Or is it just groundwater? I actually sopped the water up with a towel so it was bone dry and two hours later the water is back. Any thoughts?
Also there is a second pipe I found that I have no idea what it's for maybe a stormdrain? I wasn't going to worry about it and just put my drains over it but maybe it is leaking?
