This is How Our Proven Process for Balcony Inspections Keeps Your Property Safe

Our streamlined process is designed to detect structural issues quickly while minimizing disruption to your tenants or community.

Initial Review and Evaluation

Our local California inspectors begin with an in-depth review of your building’s architecture. This allows us to pinpoint any potential problem areas on your elevated exterior elements.

Thorough Visual Inspection

Next, Balcony1 conducts a detailed visual inspection of all balconies and decks, assessing their structural integrity and waterproofing systems. Using non-destructive and minimally invasive testing methods, we verify the safety of these elements without causing unnecessary disruption to your property.
