A couple of holes will allow the water to flow and not push the plug of new concrete out. Water underneath is not the problem it's the pressure. They pour bridge footings under water once the concrete displaces the water and fills the forms it cures and works fine. | |

I do want to do something, because the large shallow hole means standing water. Also, the hole is right smack dab at the bottom of the steps. | |
