What to record
- Photograph the perimeter, steps, exterior grade and interior junction.
- Note when water appears and whether normal door operation changes.
- Avoid entering damaged or flooded areas for pictures.
The decision to discuss
Ask whether frame, flashing or drainage review must precede a concrete treatment. The scope should identify what it addresses without claiming to certify the entire entry.
Why the surrounding context matters
Joints can serve different purposes in a concrete assembly. The work should identify the actual junction and how the retained surfaces relate to it. A filled line and a functioning joint are different observations; ask for the intended detail before approving the finish.
Further background: NRMCA: joints in slabs on grade. This general background does not diagnose your property.
