Common Inspection Findings in Montecito Estates
Sewer Lines and Root Intrusion
The magnificent oaks on Montecito properties often cause severe root intrusion in older clay sewer laterals. A sewer scope is essential to identify these expensive, hidden issues.
Hillside Drainage & Retaining Walls
Proper water management is critical on Montecito's slopes. We meticulously inspect drainage paths, site grading, and the condition of retaining walls to protect against erosion and structural damage.
Complex Mechanical Systems
Luxury estates often feature multi-zone HVAC, subpanels, and sophisticated pool equipment. We evaluate the condition and functionality of these complex systems to ensure they perform as expected.
Waterproofing and Flat Roofs
Decks, balconies, and flat roof sections common in Mediterranean-style homes are frequent points of water intrusion if not properly maintained. We use moisture meters to assess these critical areas.
