Occupied Buildings, Sequenced Repairs

South El Monte has 5,058 housing units at about 1,779 per square mile, and only 2.7 percent of them are vacant, with occupied housing running slightly more renter than owner. Almost everything here is lived in, so a failed walkway or stair is an immediate problem for real people rather than something to schedule at leisure.

We sequence multi unit work so a building keeps a usable route in and out for the whole repair. That takes more planning than simply closing a stairway, but closing a stairway is not a real option when it is the only way to half the units.

Inspections here need a day's notice, and a Monday inspection has to be booked the Thursday before. On a job where a stair is partly demolished, that calendar decides when the work can be closed back up, so we book against it rather than losing days to it.

The city is in the San Gabriel Valley, inland ground with no help from a slope. Decks and walkways built flat hold water at whatever corner has settled lowest, and the coating there is under standing water every time it rains.

The repairs are ordinary trade work done in the right order: find the entry point, replace framing that has gone soft, correct the fall, detail the wall junctions and thresholds, then coat. We fabricate replacement stringers, landings and guardrails in our own shop so a stair is not out of service waiting on a supplier.

Waterproofing in South El Monte: Your Questions

How much notice do inspections need in South El Monte?

Building inspections require 24 hours notice, and an inspection for a Monday has to be booked the Thursday before. We schedule around that so an open stair or deck is not left waiting through a weekend.

Can residents stay in the building during the repair?

Yes. With only 2.7 percent of units vacant here, working around residents is the normal condition. We sequence a walkway or stair in sections so every unit keeps a safe route in and out.

Our walkway pools water in one spot. Is that the coating?

Usually not. It is the fall. On flat valley ground a walkway that has settled will hold water at the low point, and a new coating under standing water fails at the same seam as the old one.
