LEAKY DECKS
Leaky decks are the No1 cause of leaky homes, did you know MOST decks are built without correct waterproofing clearance or drainage?
The reasons for leaky decks and overall deterioration vary widely according to the construction of the deck.

ENCLOSED BALCONIES
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.
Balustrades and Junctions
Solid cladding balustrades that are plastered may allow water ingress. Any flat top surface that does not slope to facilitate water runoff will generally result in water ingress eventually. It only takes 12 months for UV to break down your exterior paint’s waterproofing ability with an up-facing surface – water ingress will follow if it is allowed to pool.
