Why the First Submittal Matters in Temple City

Temple City charges additional review fees once a project goes past two resubmittals. That is a straightforward incentive to file a complete, correct package the first time, and it is the sort of thing that separates a contractor who works here regularly from one who does not.

The city sits northeast of downtown Los Angeles at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, in the same cluster as Pasadena, Arcadia, Alhambra, San Marino and San Gabriel. Of its 12,216 housing units, 96.1 percent are occupied and 62.4 percent of those are owner occupied, so most of the work is homeowner work: rear decks, entry stairs, and balconies that have started showing themselves on the wall below.

Being at the base of the mountains means storm runoff arrives with force rather than drifting down. A deck outlet sized for average rain backs up in that kind of event, and water standing above a drain flange finds every hairline the summer opened up.

The recurring homeowner problem here is the balcony over living space. Water gets in at the threshold or the wall junction, spreads through the floor framing, and the first sign is a stain on the ceiling of the room below or a soft patch in the floor just inside the door. By then the repair includes framing, not just surface.

We diagnose before we quote: probe the deck, read moisture along the wall line and at post bases, and take a test cut where the readings justify it. That is also what lets us put a complete, accurate package in front of the city the first time.

Pulling a Permit in Temple City

Temple City Building and Safety reviews plans, issues permits and conducts inspections for all types of construction, including encroachment permits for work in the public right of way. That last one matters if staging or material handling spills onto the pavement. Since more than two resubmittals requires additional review fees, billed by the hour for the extra plan checking rather than at a flat rate, we put a complete package in first time rather than iterating at your expense.

Waterproofing in Temple City: Your Questions

Why does the first submittal matter so much in Temple City?

Because more than two resubmittals requires additional review fees. A package that goes in incomplete costs money as well as time here, so we assemble the whole thing before filing rather than sending it and seeing what comes back.

The floor inside the balcony door feels soft. What is that?

Water at the threshold. Without pan flashing under the sill and fall away from the door, storms drive water into the framing where the floor of the house begins, and it moves inward from there. That is a framing repair as well as a waterproofing one.

Do I need anything extra if the crew has to work from the street?

Possibly. Temple City issues encroachment permits for work in the public right of way, so if staging, a lift or material handling occupies the pavement, that gets permitted alongside the building work. We sort it in the same package.
