new home poured basement & garage slab PatrickMcQuillen 04-14-2006
hey there, couple questions i am looking for some information on:

the floor in the basement is poured, i noticed there is a piece of
foam, about 2" wide, that is flush (for the most part) with the poured
floor that is against the outside walls. It actually rises about 1/2"
above the floor in one area and isn't visible for some other sections
- is this common?
- what is it for?
- there is also a spot where there seams to be a chunk missing and has

some gravel resting in it.


the floor in the garage is also poured. It has the seams in the floor
for future cracking. i haven't moved into the house yet & the cracks
are already developiing along the seams.
- Is this common to crack already?
- should i have this fixed?


Thank you for any help.
