These usually sit under the lower roof or above a living room. If not constructed correctly they can be a major cause of leaks. Direct fixed tiles, inadequate membranes or joinery and cladding clearances, badly designed or installed drainage systems can all contribute to a leaky deck. While this looks bad both inside and outside your home, it can also create severe problems for your exterior home protection. Improperly applied paint can pull away and expose the junction to leaking, possibly allowing water to get behind the paint and causing the coating to fail. The sealant products used on junctions for water tightness rely on staying flexible, and they become ineffective when they lose that flexibility. If you just paint over them, it’s like sticking a bandaid over a hole and expecting it to be waterproof.  Engaging a team with specialist knowledge around weather tightness and its relationship to house paint is crucial when booking your Auckland painting services.
