How to Spot Bad Concrete?

Concrete is the backbone of any structure. But even it can become the “weak link” if it’s made or handled poorly. Here are the warning signs that your concrete might be in trouble:

1️⃣ Cracks Appearing Too Soon
If cracks show up just days after pouring, the mix or curing process was likely done wrong.

2️⃣ Crumbles Under Impact
Good concrete can take a hit. If it crumbles from light impact, its strength is questionable.

3️⃣ Uneven Color or Stains
Rust marks, white streaks, or patchy coloring often mean poor-quality cement or a bad mix.

4️⃣ Too Light or Porous
Lots of air bubbles or a loose, crumbly texture suggest the concrete was watered down or not compacted properly.

5️⃣ Poor Adhesion
If the concrete doesn’t bond well with rebar or finishing materials, the mix might be off.
