Building on Ground That Has Always Moved
The Portuguese Bend area of the Palos Verdes Peninsula has a landslide history going back 250,000 years, a useful reminder that on this ground, keeping water out of the soil is not only about protecting a deck. Rancho Palos Verdes occupies the bluffs of that peninsula and the Palos Verdes Hills, neighboring Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, Torrance and San Pedro.
A deck that sheds water without directing it is putting that water into the hillside. On a peninsula with documented land movement, that is the last place you want it. The drainage design carries more weight here than the coating choice, so we look at where the water ends up rather than just where it leaves the surface.
About 80 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied among the city's 16,497 housing units, and these are properties where decks and terraces are built for the view. That usually means large spans, cantilevered structure and long stair runs down a slope.
Long spans move. Where a cantilevered deck meets the building, that movement works the joint, and a rigid coating carried across it splits sooner or later. We detail that junction to take movement instead of pretending it will not happen.
Bluff top property also takes ocean air head on. Fasteners, flashing and guardrail anchors corrode faster than they do a few miles inland, so the metal gets specified and detailed for the exposure and fabricated in our own shop when it needs replacing.

Waterproofing in Rancho Palos Verdes: Your Questions
Why do you care where the water goes after it leaves my deck?
Because of what is under the property. The Portuguese Bend area of this peninsula has a landslide history going back 250,000 years, so water put into the hillside is a bigger problem than water on a deck.
Does the city look at soils and geology on projects here?
Building and Safety coordinates geological and soils evaluations as part of its work alongside plan review, permitting and inspections. On bluff top property that coordination is worth planning for early.
My view deck is cantilevered and cracking at the wall. Why there?
Because that is where movement concentrates. A long span deflects, the building does not, and a rigid coating carried straight across the joint splits. We detail that junction to accept movement instead of resisting it.
