Can I sue a sub contractor for lost profit and amounts paid whos faulty work was cause to have my contract terminated?

I hired contractor as a concrete sub on a project. He installed 90% of the work and I paid him for the project (approximately $6500.00). Unfortunately, the concrete didn't pass inspection and had to be removed. I tried a dozen times to reach him to correct the work and even sent a 24 hour notice to comply. All communications were ignored and I had to remove the faulty work at my expense. After I removed the concrete, the GC i was working for decided to take the concrete over and complete it themselves. Within 24 hours of them informing me they will be handling the concrete, my contract was terminated due to the concrete subs inability to correct the work. Do I have a good case to go after the concrete sub for the money that was paid to him for the faulty work, the cost to remove the faulty work and the damages I incurred from being terminated due to his poor craftmanship?

Yes, but did the builder use a general contractor? That matters.
