SB721 Inspection Repairs
Under California state mandate, owners of multifamily residential buildings with three or more units must complete mandatory inspections for all Exterior Elevated Elements (EEE)—including decks, balconies, stairways, and walkways—to verify structural safety. When inspection reports identify dry rot, waterproofing leaks, structural decay, or non-compliant railings, executing SB721 inspection repairs promptly is crucial to maintain compliance, protect asset value, and safeguard residents.
At Redlog Construction Group, we are specialized retrofit and structural repair contractors serving property managers, asset managers, and HOAs across San Francisco, Oakland, and the wider Bay Area. We focus on executing full-scope corrective repairs in occupied multifamily buildings, maintaining tenant safety and minimizing operational disruption while fulfilling municipal compliance requirements.
Our SB721 Corrective Scope & Capabilities
1. Waterproof Deck Systems
Unchecked moisture intrusion is the leading cause of structural decay in exterior elevated elements. We install and restore heavy-duty, pedestrian-traffic waterproof deck systems tailored for multifamily properties. Our high-performance elastomeric and cementitious waterproofing membranes protect under-deck wood framing, prevent future water damage, and ensure long-term durability for high-traffic walkways and balconies.
2. Flashing Replacement
Missing, compromised, or improperly installed flashing allows water to seep directly into ledger boards and structural joists. Redlog provides comprehensive flashing replacement and remediation, including wall-to-deck transitions, drip edges, door threshold pans, and perimeter metal flashings. Proper flashing ensures your building envelope remains watertight and structurally protected.
3. Drainage Improvements
Ponding water accelerates structural rot and creates severe slip hazards for building occupants. Our repair teams deliver targeted drainage improvements, correcting slope pitch, retrofitting custom scuppers, and installing high-capacity deck drain systems designed to route water efficiently away from critical structural assemblies.
4. Railing Replacement and Corrective Work
Loose anchors, dry-rotted post bases, and non-compliant guardrail heights are among the most frequent violations cited in SB 721 reports. We perform complete railing replacement and corrective work, installing wood, aluminum, or wrought iron systems engineered to meet current California Building Code (CBC) lateral load and safety standards.
5. Balcony and Deck Reconstruction
When inspection findings reveal severe structural compromises, localized patches are insufficient. We execute complete balcony and deck reconstruction, including structural beam replacement, sister joist installation, cantilever repairs, and ledger board structural reinforcements. We manage the entire CapEx reconstruction process seamlessly from temporary shoring to final architectural finishes.
6. Stairways and Walkways Reconstruction
Exterior corridors, multi-story walkways, and stairways experience continuous daily wear and exposure. Our comprehensive stairways and walkways reconstruction services resolve compromised wood framing, decayed stringers, worn treads, and corroded steel supports. We restore full structural integrity and apply slip-resistant surface coatings for maximum resident safety.
