Be sure the hole are free of contamination, oils, and dust. The affected area is best to be a rough texture to allow for bonding. Patch the affected area with a stainable polymer modified patching material or you can use gray portland cement with some sand aggregate. If using the polymer patch option, be sure to apply TWO coats (one filler and one finish). If you decide to use the portland mix, scrub some re-emulsifiable bonding agent into the hole before you fill in the patch, allowing it to dry ONCE.Be sure the patch is completely dry and cured before you stain otherwise the patch may turn out darker than the rest of the floor.

Ensure concrete is clean, smooth and dry. Concrete should be first cleaned with degreaser to remove any residue. Use a self leveling compound if floor is not level or has some low areas. Fill any cracks or holes prior to using leveler. Allow leveler to dry overnight and seal concrete the following day to prevent moisture from wicking through concrete. Install flooring of choice.

Why do poured concrete walls have holes?

Gas (air) trapped in the mixture was not removed. The bubbles make the holes.One method to reduce the holes and get a smooth finish when the formwork is removed, is to use a concrete vibrator. This tool is poked into the wet concrete before it sets and vibrates the mix to encourage air to come to the surface. It can be very effective. This also makes the concrete stronger by eliminating weaknesses caused by air pockets.Concrete vibrators must be used carefully and should not be allowed to contact the formwork or reinforcing as they can mark the surface and move the reinforcing. Excessive use can also separate the fines and the coarse aggregate making the concrete weaker.
