Balcony and Walkway Work in One of the Densest Cities in LA County
Cudahy packs 5,854 housing units into roughly a square mile, about 4,977 units per square mile. That density is almost entirely apartment buildings, and apartment buildings mean shared walkways, exterior stairs and stacked balconies. When one of those coatings fails the water does not stay put. It finds the unit below, then the framing, then the stairs everyone uses.
Nothing here stands empty either. Over 98 percent of units are occupied, the rental vacancy rate is 1.6 percent and the homeowner vacancy rate is zero. Every repair happens around people who live there, so access and a safe route to the street are part of the work.
Just under 18 percent of occupied units are owner occupied, so most of this work comes through owners and managers of income property. They want two things: a repair that closes an inspection finding, and a building not back on the same list next time.
We recoat those surfaces so they drain instead of ponding, so treads are not spongy underfoot, and so the waterproof layer is continuous where it meets a wall or a post. Where framing has gone, it comes out. Coating over wet wood is how a building does this twice.
Steel matters here too. These stairs corrode at the base and at the stringer connections, where water sits longest. We fabricate replacement stringers and precast treads rather than plating over steel that has lost its thickness.

Waterproofing in Cudahy: Your Questions
My Cudahy inspection report lists balcony repairs. Can you work from it?
Yes. Bring us the report, we scope the repairs off the findings, permit it through Cudahy Building and Safety, and get the work inspected against the city's Exterior Elevated Elements certification.
Which elements does that inspection cover?
SB 721 and SB 326 require inspection and certification of weather exposed elements elevated more than six feet above the adjacent grade. In practice that is balconies, walkways, stairs and landings, which is what this city is built from.
Do residents have to move out while you work?
No. Cudahy is over 98 percent occupied with a rental vacancy rate of 1.6 percent, so working around residents is the normal condition. We stage a walkway or stair in sections and keep a route in and out.
