Default what is a pop in the cement?
Read on here someone in Sanibel has pops in the cement on their lanai.

Is a pop a hole?
According to engineer hubby if there are holes in the concrete within the first few years after a pour then the mix wasn't right or they didn't vibrate it enough to get it to settle properly. If this is a problem on the lanai what about the interior slab under tile that may then crack.
I worry about the level of construction when they were putting them up so fast. The warranty is a year is that right? Non visual structural issues can take years to show up.
