What to record
- Photograph step edges, joints, downspout outlets and the route people use.
- Note loose material and recent changes.
- Avoid wet leaves or unstable edges while taking photographs and keep essential access concerns clear in the submission.
The decision to discuss
Ask which concerns need prompt site review and which can be planned for a suitable work window. A seasonal check is useful documentation, not a guarantee that the surface will remain unchanged through winter.
Why the surrounding context matters
Exterior concrete can be exposed to water and freezing conditions. Surface loss needs review alongside that exposure, but appearance alone does not establish its cause. Keep the physical condition, water observations and proposed maintenance changes separately recorded.
Further background: NRMCA: scaling concrete surfaces. This general background does not diagnose your property.
