Water Intrusion Repairs, Federal Buildings, Los Angeles & Orange Counties

Development One performed design services for water intrusion repairs for several GSA controlled Federal Government Buildings in Southern California.

1. Roof Repair – Ronald Reagan Federal Building , Santa Ana, CA

Development One provided design expertise for rooftop water intrusion repairs, and associated repair of window washing equipment for this federal building. Water intrusion repair included determining the source of leaks, then designing for the repair and prevention of moisture problems before severe structural damage and mold toxicity could occur.

2. Roof Repair – Glenn M. Anderson Federal Building , Long Beach, CA

This building’s initial investigation indicated a deficiency in the third and fourth level patios.

Project work included the following:

• Repairing atrium/skylight flashing sealant and water-damaged gypsum board ceilings, as well as adding new door thresholds
• Replacing joint sealants and deck top coating at the third and fourth floor east and west terraces
• Keeping the building open and active during all repair and construction activities

3. South Side Water Leaks, Wilshire Federal Building, Los Angeles, CA
