LoL I know what you mean...
Possibly mixed incorrectly, didn't cure correctly, water issue?
Lot of snow last winter. Customer might have hit it pretty hard. Good thought
Im guessing ice melters. See it often.
How old is it?
Yep, I agree with everybody here and say the problem comes from salt or some other de-icing materials.
this pring being key word is either salt as mentioned or he did it late fall and it froze ..more than likely a combination of both
