potential water intrusion

[Ryan Fox]

Hi BP - 

I'm in escrow to purchase a turnkey rental.  The property has a concrete path that is about 3.5' wide by 30' long that goes along the side of the house.  My inspector found out that the path is sloping towards the house, and will cause water intrusion in the building, particularly the basement.  The inspector recommends fixing it by replacing the path with a level path.  Seller, in his disclosures, says that no water intrusion has taken place in their 4-month ownership of the property.  Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
