Please can anyone advise. I'm digging the ground to lay a foundation for a conservatory to the side of my bungalow. I've dug to a depth of 650mm and the trench is constantly being filled with water to a depth of about 100mm. The council made the builders of my bungalow put the their footings in very deep because of the high water table level, how deep I'm not sure, I havn't found the top of them yet. So how can I lay concrete foundations in these conditions? I have tried pumping out the water but it fills back quite quickly. Thanks in advance. Terry
