Concrete installed against wood siding

CONCRETE / MASONRY INSTALLED AGAINST WOOD PRODUCT SIDING: 
Generally when placing concrete slabs against a wood product siding a thin sheet of corrosion resistant metal is placed between. This acts as a barrier to help keep moisture laden cement concrete products from ultimately causing the wood to rot. Most wood rot can be attributed to moisture and lack of air and both conditions exist here This situation should be considered an increased maintenance condition which should be monitored . There are products which treat wood making it more resistant to wood rot. The application of such a wood preservative may be helpful You are advised to contact a Pest Control Company for further information and a second opinion regarding this condition. Remedial action may be called for.
