"A CONCRETE PROBLEM
Experts advise against carpeting elevated balconies. Carpet traps salt and moisture, which corrode steel reinforcing bars inside the balconies. This can break up the concrete and eat away the steel supports. Here are a few tips if you have a carpeted balcony:
--REMOVE the carpet.
--INSPECT the balcony for signs of cracking or crumbling.
--CONSIDER inspecting the balcony from a neighbor's balcony below, again looking for signs of decay.
--CALL your building manager at the first indication of a problem.
--MAKE SURE a qualified engineer inspects the damage.
--If you have a ground-floor patio, don't worry. Carpeting it is OK.
