Your Balcony Is Falling Apart
As a general contractor in Sacramento, I get to see a lot of problem decks and balconies. Some are dangerous and in need of repair. The danger is not always easy to spot, especially when it has been covered up for so long.
Look at this balcony…
The railings have began to sag from the span and the concrete deck has movement in the cracked surface. this is a sure sign of water damage under the surface and into the framing members.
Tom Arstingstall, General Contractor, Dry Rot, Water Damage Sacramento, El Dorado County - (916) 765-5366 It seems like every once in a while we hear about a balcony of partiers crashing down and people getting hurt. It's always a shame. Hopefully families with children are careful and make sure their loved ones are safe.

These are easy to ignore until a professional points them out, nice job of spotting this one Tom!

That balcony looks like if a couple of people were to step outside they would be one floor lower.

That tilt from right to left is a little more than needed for drainage

I am super cautious about walking on decks and docks. I always check them out before I walk on them.

At my age I'm very careful on stepping out on the deck of any place.

Well, I got an approval to move forward on this one. I will learn a lot when this gets opened up.
Mother Nature sure has a way of taking control huh?
