Hello building experts!
The newly poured concrete slab is not smooth. It was poured yesterday. Today’s temperature is 29°C (84°F). In the middle, there is a very rough line, somewhat like a snake across the slab. I will ask the site manager tomorrow.
But is this normal at all?
Thank you very much!

Hello, it seems to me that there was a longer pause during the concrete pouring and the concrete had already become too stiff, so the new and old concrete did not bond properly. It is said that without a planned joint, you should always pour fresh concrete onto fresh concrete. If that was the case, the joint is very likely not 100% watertight. I would discuss this with an expert before the basement walls are installed. However, those are probably already scheduled for Monday.

That might still be acceptable, or it could be a major defect. As already mentioned, this is a starting edge where the mixer was not present.
Whether it is still okay depends on many factors, including the load case of ground moisture, the structural function of the slab, and so on... You can only clarify this with an expert.
