I was curious about something and perhaps you have the answer. You said some of the cement on your fairly new basement ramp and gone bad and crumbled. Does that sort of thing happen very often? I assume there isn't any way to tell if concrete is "bad" when it's being poured? Do you know what causes it?
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds want to know. :D
It's very hard to tell if it is a bad batch of concrete. It can happen if the ratio of the mix isn't right or if too much water is added or not allowed to cure correctly (like it pours down rain or is too cold) .
