Keeping the Concrete Block Walls
Free of Cracks
The Sacramento County Inspectors have been through many of the apartment communities and have come up with a healthy list of things that needs to be done. The list can be extension and time consuming for the property to get completed on time for the re-inspection deadline. There are ways to help get this done.
Many of the items on the lists need to be done by a contractor. The tools and expertise are beyond that of the average on site maintenance staff, so a contractor can be called in. I have been one of those contractors in Sacramento that gets calls for various projects. One of those tasks this week has been the demolition and construction of new concrete blocks for a faulty section of the wall.
We completed this wall yesterday and hope to get the final inspection during the county walk-thru on Tuesday next week.
There are several areas on the property where the walls on in need of repair, only this section was called out at this time. There are many trees that line the perimeter of the property that will put pressure on the foundation of the walls. More importantly the original construction of the concrete block walls in Sacramento did not match the current standards. The new requirement produce a much stronger concrete wall.
