What We Look For in Santa Clarita Homes
What We Look For in Santa Clarita Homes
Santa Clarita has its own unique geographic and environmental factors that affect how homes age. Unlike older parts of Los Angeles, SCV homes face specific regional stressors:
Post-Tension Slab Foundations: Many newer homes in Valencia and Stevenson Ranch are built on post-tension concrete slabs. We inspect exposed slab edges for spalling, cracking, or signs of cable corrosion.
Microclimates & Stucco Distress: Santa Clarita's intense summer heat followed by cool winter nights causes dramatic thermal expansion. We thoroughly inspect exterior stucco systems for hairline fractures, moisture intrusion, and proper weep screed installation.
Wildfire Zone & Venting Requirements: With many neighborhoods bordering brush zones, we verify that attic and crawlspace vents feature compliant, ember-resistant mesh to protect the structure from future hazards.
Expansive Soil Issues: The valley floor and surrounding foothills feature soils that expand and contract heavily with seasonal moisture changes, which can put immense pressure on retaining walls and foundations.
