A Square Mile of Very Dense Housing

Maywood is the second smallest incorporated city in Los Angeles County by area at 1.18 square miles, and it packs in 6,696 housing units at close to 5,700 per square mile. Buildings sit close, lots are tight, and staging a deck rebuild takes planning rather than a truck parked wherever there is room.

That density also means water has a short route to somewhere it should not be. A balcony that has stopped shedding properly is usually already affecting the unit below and often the wall of the building next door.

Only 29.7 percent of occupied units here are owner held, with 70.3 percent rented, and 97.9 percent of the stock is occupied. Bordered by Bell, Vernon, Huntington Park and Commerce, this is small lot property where the exterior stair and the second floor walkway carry the whole building.

On buildings this tight the debris route matters as much as the work. A balcony tear-off produces old topping, plywood, framing, metal and railing, and there is often no side yard to stage any of it. We break the work into sections small enough that the drive and the entries stay usable.

The technical scope does not change with the lot size. Fall restored across the surface, drains and scuppers at the true low point, metal at every edge, flashing behind every penetration, and the deck to wall junction rebuilt rather than sealed over.

Pulling a Permit in Maywood

The Maywood Building Division issues building permits and performs site inspections for compliance with the applicable codes, laws and ordinances. One requirement to plan for: all construction and demolition projects must use the city's franchised waste hauler, Universal Waste Systems, so debris from a deck tear off cannot go out with whoever is cheapest that week. We arrange that alongside the permit.

Waterproofing Problems We Solve in Maywood

  • Stacked balconies leaking into the unit below
  • Exterior stairs and walkways serving every door in the building
  • Deck to wall junctions where the coating has pulled away
  • Scuppers and drains blocked or set above the low point
  • Magnesite toppings lifting off concrete walkways
  • Guardrail posts penetrating the deck with no flashing behind them

Waterproofing in Maywood: Your Questions

Who hauls the debris from the tear-off?

Universal Waste Systems. Every construction and demolition project in Maywood is required to use the city's franchised waste hauler, so debris routing is arranged through them rather than an outside bin company. We set that up as part of the job.

There is no room to stage anything on this lot. Is that a problem?

It is normal here, given the city is 1.18 square miles with over 5,700 housing units per square mile. We break the work into sections, bring material in stages and keep the drive and entries usable rather than trying to open the whole building at once.

Could my balcony be leaking into the building next door?

On lots this tight, yes. Water that gets through a balcony surface travels the framing and exits at the lowest opening it finds, and buildings sit close enough that the wall it stains is not always yours. That makes early repair cheaper than the alternative.
