CONCRETE AND ATTACHMENTS

Slab-edge deterioration, exposed reinforcement and movement deserve professional attention. A licensed engineer should assess suspected structural issues and determine use restrictions.

WATERPROOFING AND DRAINAGE

Leaks below a balcony or ponding above it may indicate failed membranes, transitions or slope. These conditions can also accelerate concrete deterioration.

DO NOT WAIT ON HAZARDS

Keep people clear of falling material or suspected instability and contact appropriate emergency or qualified engineering professionals. A routine walk-through is not an emergency assessment.
