Foothill Runoff on a Mixed Housing Stock

The foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains put Monrovia on two kinds of ground at once. There are 15,241 housing units here and occupied housing sits close to an even split between owners and renters, so the work alternates: single family decks up on the slope one week, shared walkway and stair repairs on multi unit buildings further down the next.

Foothill ground gives water speed. On the higher properties a deck has to direct runoff somewhere deliberate, because water simply shed off an edge ends up against a foundation or working into a slope. That drainage decision does more for the life of the repair than the product choice does.

Lower down, the problem inverts. Flatter lots hold water on a deck that has lost its fall, and a coating asked to sit under standing water will fail at its weakest seam every time. Correcting slope comes before anything gets rolled on.

The older stock here has decks and stairs built to a different standard than current work, often with the waterproofing stopping short at the wall rather than turning up behind the finish. That is the detail we look for first, because it explains most of the damage we find behind stucco.

We rebuild what has rotted, fabricate replacement iron and precast stair sections in our own shop, and put the surface back so it drains rather than merely sheds.

Waterproofing in Monrovia: Your Questions

Do you bring your own insurance paperwork to the permit counter?

Yes. Monrovia asks for a copy of workers compensation insurance when a permit is pulled. We carry it as standard, so the permit is not held up by documentation that should already be in hand.

My deck is above the house on a slope. Where should the water go?

Somewhere deliberate. In the foothills water moves fast, and a deck that just sheds off its edge puts it against a foundation or into the hillside. We design the fall and the outlet before choosing a coating.

Do you take on multi unit buildings, or only houses?

Both. Occupied housing in Monrovia runs close to an even split between owners and renters, so we do private foothill decks and shared walkway and stair repairs on multi unit buildings in equal measure.
