Re: Concrete work - Slab foundation
It's a slab, not a wall.
The honeycombing is likely just at the form interface and proves that the contractor didn't over wet the mix.
I've never seen anyone bother to vibrate the form boards on a slab.
Freeze thaw cycles aren't much of an issue in North Carolina and even if they were, a simple parget coating would fix the problem.
Parge isn't a word. Neither is parging.
There is no mortar in concrete. It's cement. What fills the void between coarse aggregates is called paste.
If you recommend an engineer look at that slab, you should be prepared to pay for his/her services.
