Los Angeles is a place which gets sufficient rainfall. It is always a good idea to waterproof not just your wooden products, but also building structures. This is because if water seeps in, over time it can reduce the strength of the structure, which may eventually develop cracks.
Retaining walls are essentially external walls, which may be around a property or part of a larger landscape. Not only is moisture from rain a problem, water from the ground also can seep in. As a result, they need something called ‘weep holes’ as well to reduce moisture and lessen the hydrostatic pressure. An efficient subsoil drainage is often advised by the structural engineer to reduce this kind of percolation.
When waterproofing retaining walls in Los Angeles, there are various considerations to be taken, the most important of which is the grade of waterproof membrane that is put. While some are thin, some are thick and extremely strong. In fact, some are so easy to apply, that it can be done by oneself. However, it is important that a person first understands what the exact need is before going ahead and putting a membrane. For example, when waterproofing plywood decks in Los Angeles, the strength requirement of the membrane would generally be lesser than waterproofing a retaining wall which is exposed directly.
All Weather Construction and Coating uses some of the most advanced techniques and materials to address these issues. They also have a very highly skilled work force having been in the business for nearly two decades.
