What this city changes

Planning Pine Valley deck footings around wastewater services

The county’s Pine Valley community plan discusses individual septic systems in the planning area. It does not establish the system serving your property; confirm the actual wastewater service before planning work.

If the property has an onsite system, gather available tank, line and disposal-area records. Show the planned deck and footing locations to the appropriate wastewater authority and contractor, and ask how the system will be located and protected.

If records are missing, ask the responsible wastewater office how to research the property before excavation. Confirm the building authority and required plans for the deck separately.

Local reference: San Diego County Pine Valley community plan.

Pricing

Project costs depend on the size, materials, access and condition of the existing structure. Ask each contractor for a written estimate covering the same work.

Repair and restoration

What should a deck repair assessment cover in Pine Valley?

Keep people away from a deck that may be unstable. Ask a qualified professional to assess visible damage and accessible supports before use.
