Tustin's housing stock spans decades of development — from older condo and townhome communities built in the 1970s and 1980s to newer master-planned developments built out over the last 15-20 years, including construction on the former Tustin Legacy/MCAS Tustin base. That range matters for waterproofing, because the age and construction era of a building often determines whether you're dealing with a proactive maintenance conversation or an active SB 326 compliance issue. We work with HOA boards and property management companies throughout Tustin on both.
Tustin has a high concentration of condominiums, townhomes, and multi-family HOA-governed communities, spanning a wide construction timeline. Older communities, particularly those built before the mid-1990s, are the ones most likely to be approaching or past the functional lifespan of their original waterproofing systems — which is often where SB 326 findings show up first. Newer developments in areas built out more recently generally have more current waterproofing systems, but aren't immune to installation defects, drainage issues, or premature wear depending on original construction quality.
Because of this range, we don't approach every Tustin property the same way. An inspection tells us whether we're looking at a preventive maintenance job, a targeted repair, or something more extensive — and the building's age is often the first clue, though never the only one we rely on.
If your Tustin association has multi-family buildings with balconies, decks, or walkways more than six feet above grade, SB 326 applies regardless of when the building was constructed. Older communities are statistically more likely to have findings simply due to system age, but newer developments aren't automatically exempt — installation quality and specific exposure conditions play a role too.
If your association's SB 326 inspection has already identified findings, our HOA Balcony Waterproofing & SB 326 Compliance page walks through what happens next. If your board hasn't gone through the inspection process yet, our SB 326 & SB 721 Explained page breaks down the requirement without a sales pitch attached.
We provide balcony waterproofing, repair, and SB 326 compliance services to HOA boards and property management companies throughout Tustin — from established condo and townhome communities to newer multi-family developments.
If you're unsure whether your building's age or construction era affects your waterproofing needs or SB 326 timeline, that's part of what we assess during the initial inspection.
