Water sitting underneath basement floor
Hello
I am installing a shower in my basement. My home is 1 1/2 years old. The basement has a roughed in shower, toilet and sink drain. The shower drain is a 2 inch horizontal pvc pipe about 6 inches underneath the slab. When the basement floor was poured there was a 12" x12" hole left in the floor covered with a piece of plywood. I just took the cover off to add a ptrap and stub the pipe up to match up to the drain hole in the shower. About eight inches below the slab there is water. In fact when I put the Ptrap in it covers most of the U shape of the trap. I live in Wisconsin. Is this normal? The walls and basement floor have always been dry.
Please help as I want to keep moving on with my project..
Thanks.
