Foothill Decks and Flatland Decks Are Not the Same Job
Burbank is really two areas. There is the downtown and foothill section running up into the Verdugo Mountains, and there is the flatland section. A deck in the foothills is dealing with slope, runoff arriving from above, and structure often cantilevered out over a grade. A deck in the flats is dealing with ponding and a surface that never quite drains.
Just over 58 percent of occupied housing in Burbank is renter occupied, so a large share of our work is multi unit: exterior walkways, open stairs and stacked balconies where a failure moves downward through the building rather than staying where it started.
On the flat side, the fix is usually slope before anything else. A walkway holding a quarter inch of standing water is not a coating problem, it is a geometry problem, and no product survives sitting under water for three days after every storm.
On the foothill side, it is the opposite issue. Water arrives faster than the deck can move it, so the edges and the wall junction take the load. Those are the details that get rebuilt: counterflashing tucked properly behind the wall finish, positive drainage to a collection point, and terminations that are mechanically held rather than sealant-dependent.
Either way, we look under the surface first. What is on top rarely tells you what the plywood and the ledger have been doing for the last five years.

Burbank is a full service independent city with its own departments including Burbank Water and Power, so the whole process stays local rather than routing through the county.

Waterproofing in Burbank: Your Questions
Is a foothill deck really a different job from one in the flats?
Yes. Burbank splits into a downtown and foothill section in the Verdugo Mountains and a flatland section. Foothill work is about controlling arriving runoff. Flatland work is usually about correcting slope so water leaves at all.
Do I need a permit for a remodel-scale deck repair?
Burbank requires permits for residential and commercial new construction, additions, remodels, improvements and alterations. Most balcony rebuilds land inside that. We file with Building and Safety and use the online services where they apply.
Do you work on apartment buildings here?
Regularly. About 58 percent of occupied Burbank units are rented, so shared walkways, open stairs and stacked balconies are a steady part of the work, staged so residents keep access throughout.
