Front step - sloping toward house, collecting water


Need to fix the slope to direct water away from the house.

Current Issues:

  • Water pooling against the house (see video below)
  • Potential for damage to the foundation
  • Safety hazard with slippery surface in winter
  • Mold/mildew growth possible

Proposed Solution:

  • Tear out the current platform and steps
  • Pour a new concrete slab and steps
  • Ensure proper drainage away from the house

Comment on the Solution:

  • The walk is in decent shape; but…
  • There is concrete work to do at the street as the curb is crumbled, so…
  • It might be just as easy to pour a new walk as well.
