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.

I've noticed this issue too. The water pooling is definitely a concern for the foundation. We should prioritize this fix.

Agreed. I can help coordinate with a contractor to get this fixed. We should also check if there are any drainage issues in the surrounding area.

I have a contact for a good concrete contractor who specializes in foundation drainage. Should I reach out to them for a quote?
