Deck Inspection and Post Base Reconstruction After Snowmelt — South Lake Tahoe
South Lake Tahoe, CA
Fourteen mountain decks looked sound from above. Underneath, posts had been set straight onto their footings without standoffs, and thirty winters of snowmelt had eaten the bases. We rebuilt five in the summer window before the season closed the site.
- Deck inspection of all 14 decks & 2 stairways
- Excavation beside 4 piers to confirm footing size & bearing
- Post base replacement on galvanized standoffs (5 posts)
- Ledger re-flashing with correctly lapped detail (3 decks)
