Rebuilding in Agoura Hills, Los Angeles County
Fire rebuild in Agoura Hills
Agoura Hills fire rebuild as new construction when the old slab fails testing: fresh footings, current code, fire sprinklers and city plan review.
New construction becomes the job on an Agoura Hills lot when the old slab fails its tests. Cores that come back weak, steel that has come loose inside the concrete or footings too shallow for the soils report all point the same way: break out the concrete and start from fresh footings. The house that follows is designed as a new building, under the codes in force today, with ember resistant details where the parcel calls for them.
Starting again from the footings
Demolition removes the slab, the stem walls and any footing the engineer rejects, and the debris is hauled off before layout begins. The soils report then sets the depth and width of the new footings, the steel inside them and how the ground under the slab is prepared. Utility stubs for sewer, water, gas and electric are located and capped, and new routes are drawn so trenches can be dug before concrete. Because the whole foundation is new, the framing plan is free to follow the current shear wall and hold down design.
Code and city review for a new house
A house built new after a fire is held to the current California codes, which require fire sprinklers in a new dwelling and set energy standards for walls, windows and the attic. Where an Agoura Hills parcel falls within a mapped fire hazard zone, the exterior adds a Class A roof, ember resistant vents and tempered glazing. The Agoura Hills building and safety department checks the set, sends comments back in writing and inspects each stage from footing trenches to final. You receive a written note as each inspection is signed.
