Balconies in coastal buildings endure more wear than most realize. Rusted railings, cracked coatings, and standing water can lead to expensive — even dangerous — consequences.
The Risks of Inaction:
- Structural Collapse
Hidden corrosion in balcony slabs or rail anchors can lead to failures under load. - Lawsuit & Liability
Injuries due to unsafe surfaces or non-compliant railings may expose your HOA to legal claims. - Insurance Non-Renewal
Carriers may drop or increase rates if balconies are flagged as unsafe during inspections. - Water Intrusion to Interiors
Damaged balcony membranes can channel water into living spaces below.
Don’t let a small crack become a catastrophe. EIRS offers balcony inspections and full restoration plans for long-term safety and compliance.
