California SB 721 Compliance Made Easy with Duradek

What Is SB 721?
SB 721 is a California safety law that mandates periodic inspections of Exterior Elevated Elements (EEEs), including:
These components must be inspected by a qualified professional to assess structural integrity and waterproofing performance. Any deficiencies must be addressed within a specified timeframe.
This legislation is aimed at preventing moisture-related damage that can compromise structural safety.
