Central LA Basin density, split close to evenly between owners and renters.
Almost nothing in Lynwood stands empty. The city carries 15,846 housing units at over 3,200 per square mile with 98.2 percent of them occupied, in the central portion of the Los Angeles Basin near South Gate and Compton. A failed walkway or stair is affecting people from the day it fails.
Occupied housing splits close to evenly, 46.6 percent owner occupied against 53.4 percent rented, which means the work here runs both ways: a homeowner's rear deck one week, a shared second floor walkway on a rental building the next. On the multi unit side, the thing owners underestimate is how far water travels once it is through the surface. It does not stop at the balcony it came through.
Flat basin ground gives a deck no help. There is no slope in the site to move water off a surface, so every bit of fall has to be built into the deck itself and maintained. When a topping wears down at the traffic line or a patch fills the low corner, the water simply stops leaving.
On rental property the surfaces that fail first are the ones everybody uses. Walkways wear through where people actually walk, stair nosings go first, and the landing outside a door takes water off the roof, traffic from below and a threshold detail that was marginal when it was new.
We scope from the substrate up. Probe for soft plywood or hollow topping, read moisture at the wall line, cut a test hole where the readings are bad, then price the tear-off honestly. Recoating over wet material is the fastest way to pay for the same repair twice.

Water gets in at one detail, runs along the top of the sheathing to a seam, then follows the framing bay to the low end of the run. In a dense building that exit can be a different unit. We chase the entry point, not the stain.
Yes, for a different reason. Once the topcoat is gone at the traffic line the surface is slick when wet and the substrate is exposed, so it is a liability question before it is a water question. Those two problems get fixed by the same work.
Both, and the split here is close to even. A rear deck on a house and a shared walkway on a fourplex need different traffic ratings and different staging, but the diagnosis and the detailing come from the same place.
A professionally installed waterproofing system typically lasts many years. Capital Deck & Stair backs most projects with an 8-year warranty on workmanship, and proper maintenance can extend the life well beyond that.
