Patio Inspections
Included in a home inspection
Five Points of Consideration for Patios:
- Patio surfaces can be a variety of materials from dirt and gravel to concrete and blacktop
- Regardless of the type of material all patios need proper drainage
- Drainage includes both the top surface and below the finished material
- Lack of proper drainage is the single biggest reason the surface cracks and becomes uneven
- All patios should slope away from any structural component
