    New slab poured...have some questions

    Had my slab poured Friday. I've noticed that is not perfectly even. I sprayed water on it and water pooled in the lower spots. Is this within tolerance or is this not acceptable? I can already imagine pulling our cars in with snow and water pooling there. Anything that can be done now?
