Concrete Issue Around Basement Window
49thparallel
10 years ago
We recently completed the build on our custom home and I noticed this discoloration of the cement bordering the outside of one of the basement windows. The house was built over the winter and I know they added a catalyst to get the concrete to cure properly. I'm concerned that this may be a problem down the road. I would appreciate any well informed advice from someone knowledgeable about concrete. Thanks in advance.
