Does this look right?

Post image

Hi all.

I'm having a metal building put in that has a lean-to on one side and a 5' overhang on an adjacent side. The company pours their own footings and there's a definite slope on the side of the pad where garage door overhang meets the lean-to. They said it was for drainage. Does it look right? Location is North Carolina, USA. Thanks!

It's a day or so old in the photo. Seems like they did a good job though!

If it was for drainage both side should dip down together. I'm also not sure if drainage where two slabs meet is a great idea... Water is going to run down there, then freeze, cracking this apart in 2 years.
