The Asbestos Survey Nobody Budgets For

South Coast Air Quality Management District requires a Notice of Demolition and an asbestos survey for any demolition, with no minimum size; the 100 square foot exemption in that rule covers small renovation removals, not tear offs. A balcony or deck tear off counts as a demolition, and finding out mid job is expensive in both time and money.

La Habra has a hot summer Mediterranean climate, which is what actually breaks most decks here. Months of daily thermal movement open up the edges and the penetrations, and the rain that follows simply finds what summer prepared.

There are 20,801 housing units in the city at about 2,750 per square mile, with roughly 57 percent of occupied units owner occupied. The mix means a private rear deck one week and a walkway or stair on a rental building the next.

Older exterior stock is where the survey question usually comes up. Any tear off on a building of a certain age needs the material identified before it is broken up, not after it is in a pile, and that sequencing is part of how we schedule the job.

Once the demolition is handled properly the rest is straightforward trade work: correct the fall, replace framing that has gone soft, detail the wall junction and thresholds, and rebuild the guardrails and stair sections in steel where they have rusted out.

Waterproofing in La Habra: Your Questions

Does tearing off my balcony need an asbestos survey?

Yes. South Coast AQMD requires a Notice of Demolition and an asbestos survey for any demolition, with no size cutoff, and a deck or balcony tear off counts as a demolition. We check at the estimate, not once the crew has started.

Why do decks fail here if it barely rains?

Because heat does the damage. A hot summer Mediterranean climate puts a coating through months of expansion and contraction, opening laps, edges and penetrations. The first storm just finds what the summer left open.

Do you handle apartment buildings as well as houses?

Both. About 43 percent of occupied units in La Habra are rented, so we work on shared walkways and stairs as well as private decks, and we stage multifamily jobs so residents keep access.
