Which Cambridge Pavers Models This Applies To

Cambridge Pavers produces several roofing-adjacent hardscape systems, and the parts conversation usually centers on their integrated paver-over-concrete assemblies used in flat-roof terraces, balcony decks, and outdoor living spaces above conditioned rooms. The two series we see most in Irvine are the ArmorTec architectural pavers and the older Proline series, both of which use proprietary pedestal and spacer systems that must be matched exactly to maintain drainage slope and load distribution.

To identify your series: ArmorTec pavers carry a stamped date code and series mark on the underside edge; Proline units have a raised ridge pattern on the bottom and no date stamp. The pedestal height matters, too. ArmorTec standard pedestals run 3/4″ to 2-1/4″ adjustable; Proline fixed pedestals are 1″ nominal and do not interchange. We carry both OEM Cambridge pedestal assemblies and a vetted aftermarket equivalent from Bison Innovative Products that meets the same 1,250 psi compression spec. The aftermarket route saves roughly 15-20% on material cost without affecting the Haven Standard warranty we provide on installation.

Signs Your Cambridge Pavers Roofing Is Failing

• Standing water 48 hours after rain. This indicates pedestal settlement or clogged weep channels in the paver bed. The underlying waterproof membrane is now submerged, accelerating deterioration. In Irvine’s mild climate, owners often miss this until the membrane has aged past repair.
• Popping or rocking pavers underfoot. A stable pedestal system should feel like poured concrete. Movement means broken tabs, UV-degraded polypropylene bases, or slope failure from improper initial pitch. The paver itself is usually fine; the support system has failed.
• Efflorescence blooming on paver faces. White mineral deposits signal moisture migrating upward through the bedding layer, typically from a compromised vapor barrier or membrane breach below. This is common in coastal Irvine microclimates where salt air accelerates capillary action.
• Interior ceiling stains directly below the paver deck. By the time this appears, the waterproof membrane has failed at seams or penetrations. The repair scope expands from pedestal replacement to membrane section replacement, which is why we document with photos before touching anything.
• Grout or joint sand washing out. On Cambridge systems with sand-set joints, this indicates drainage plane failure or slope reversal. The sand is following water that should be exiting to drains, not traveling laterally through the bed.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

What drives the range: accessibility (rooftop crane vs. stair carry), existing membrane condition, and whether the original installation used a bonded or loose-laid membrane. We deliver a written price before any work starts, every time. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, that number includes parts, labor, disposal, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. No change order gets signed without your initials, and no work proceeds on a change until it is.

DIY or Call Us?

There is a safe middle ground here. An owner can lift a single paver with suction cups to inspect pedestal condition, check drain strainers for debris, and photograph anything suspicious for our review. What you should not attempt: membrane patching (requires hot-air welding equipment and fall protection), pedestal re-leveling across a slope (the 1/4″ per foot minimum is critical and easily lost), or any work within 10 feet of an unguarded roof edge. Irvine’s municipal code references Cal/OSHA fall protection standards for residential work above 7.5 feet; the citation is real and the injury risk is not theoretical.

We carry Cambridge-compatible pedestals, membrane patch kits, and drain assemblies on our service vehicles. Call (657) 227-2502 to schedule your free estimate. We’ll bring the parts catalog, measure your existing system, and deliver a written quote you can screenshot and compare.
