Q: What should I look for when assessing the condition of the driveway?

Driveways vary in construction material, including dirt, gravel, asphalt, concrete, patterned concrete and pavers such as cobblestone, brick and concrete. No matter the type of driveway, its condition is something that should be noted.

Here are some things to take note of regarding your driveway:

• Major cracks and deterioration of the surface
• Major potholes or shifted sections large enough to trip over
• Low areas that saturate and hold water
• Raised sections

A National Property Inspections professional will inspect the driveway and walkway as part of a general inspection.
