Trusted Waterproofing Contractor in Santa Fe Springs

Industrial Property and Documented Debris

Santa Fe Springs has only 6,015 housing units at about 679 per square mile, which tells you how much of the city is given over to industrial and commercial use. A good deal of the work here is roof decks over occupied space, elevated walkways, steel stairs and concrete surfaces that take real loads.

City ordinance, Title V Chapter 50, requires identifying which materials from a project will be reused, recycled or disposed of, with a goal of reusing or recycling at least 75 percent of project waste. A Construction and Demolition Recycling Form has to be approved before a permit is issued.

On a deck or walkway tear off that generates material fast, so the diversion documentation gets planned before the demolition rather than reconstructed afterward when the containers have already gone. It is a paperwork step that quietly controls the whole schedule.

The city is landlocked, bordered by West Whittier-Los Nietos, Pico Rivera, Downey, Norwalk, Cerritos, La Mirada, South Whittier and Whittier. Flat inland ground throughout, so a surface with no fall holds water until it finds a way through the assembly under it.

Roughly 61 percent of the occupied residential units are owner occupied, so alongside the commercial work there is a steady run of private decks, patio covers and entry stairs on houses that have not been touched in decades.
