Balcony & Terrace Inspection in {city}
A balcony inspection is a life-safety evaluation. We assess structural components and associated waterproofing systems to identify hidden moisture intrusion, dry rot risk, and critical safety issues.
Why a Professional Inspection Matters
Balconies and terraces often deteriorate from the inside. Water can enter at transitions and penetrations, damage concealed wood framing and connectors over time, and remain unnoticed until the structure is already compromised.
- Structural risk assessment — not a surface-level walkthrough
- Focus on load-bearing components and waterproofing details
- Clear, practical recommendations — no pressure, no scare tactics
Who Requires Balcony Inspections
HOAs & Condominium Associations (SB 326)
Common Interest Developments are subject to periodic Exterior Elevated Elements inspections under California Civil Code §5551.
- Initial inspection deadline: January 1, 2025
- Recurring inspections: at least once every 9 years
Multi-Family Rentals (3+ Units) (SB 721)
Multi-family rental properties are subject to Exterior Elevated Elements inspection requirements under Health & Safety Code §17973.
For many properties, the first inspection deadline was extended to January 1, 2026 under AB 2579. (AB 2579)
Important: the law focuses not only on surface decking, but also on load-bearing components and associated waterproofing systems — membranes, sealants, flashings, penetrations, and drainage details.
What We Inspect
Structural Components
- Load-bearing framing and connections
- Deflection, movement, loss of stiffness
- Wood decay, fungal growth, compromised members
- Fastener and connector corrosion
Waterproofing & Moisture Control
- Membranes/coatings and termination details
- Flashing at walls, doors, thresholds
- Penetrations: rail posts, fasteners, drains
- Drainage paths and water-shedding details
We use the least intrusive methods necessary and expand the evaluation only when clear signs of concealed damage are present.
What You Receive
- Clear life-safety risk assessment
- Photo-documented findings
- Prioritized recommendations (urgent vs. planned)
- Practical next steps for repairs and budgeting
Get Started
Send 5–10 photos of the balcony/terrace, the property address, and the property type (HOA or rental). We’ll advise which inspection scope is appropriate and what level of work to expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my balcony or terrace needs an inspection?
Many issues develop without visible signs. An inspection confirms if the structure and waterproofing are performing safely or if hidden moisture damage is present.
Is a balcony inspection required by California law?
Yes, for many properties. HOAs fall under SB 326 and multi-family rentals (3+ units) are subject to SB 721 inspection requirements.
Will the inspection damage my balcony?
No. We use non-invasive methods and recommend further evaluation only if clear risks are identified.
What do I receive after the inspection?
A clear safety assessment, photo documentation, and prioritized recommendations — no pressure, no scare tactics.
