So my mason decided to cut some corners and save himself some money by using dirt and sand with only about an inch of gravel before pouring a 4" concrete slab for a garage. He did lay 6x6 welded wire mesh with a 6mil vapor barrier. The garage measures about 29' wide by 21' long. The plans called for 4" of gravel and 4" on concrete.
He claims it did not need 4" of gravel and that he guarantees his work but i can't get over the fact that he tried to pull a fast one by me to save a few hundred dollars.
My question is a little difficult considering the different elements across the country, but on average, how long does a properly poured concrete garage slab last for? And how does my Masons bootleg job affect the pour? Should I expect to see cracking a lot sooner?
Thanks
