WHY DECKS & BALCONIES FAIL

Decks and balconies are fully exposed structures. Without correct falls, drainage, and movement detailing, water is forced into the structure, leading to repeated failures.

Poor falls
& water pooling

Failed waterproofing membranes

Cracked screeds 
& movement joints

Incorrect drainage & outlets

HOW WE FIX IT - PROPERLY

Deck and balcony leaks cannot be solved by surface coatings alone — correct preparation, detailing, and waterproofing are essential.

1. Inspection & Ingress Analysis

We identify the true source of ingress by assessing falls, drainage outlets, junctions, upstands, and membrane condition. No guesswork — only measured diagnosis.

2. Removal of Failed Waterproofing

All compromised waterproofing layers, loose screeds, and failed finishes are removed to expose a sound substrate suitable for corrective work.

3. Corrective Structural Work

Falls, joints, and detailing are corrected to ensure effective drainage. Where required, screeds are reformed and outlets repositioned to prevent future water build-up.

4. Premium Waterproofing System

A high-performance waterproofing system is applied, selected to suit the deck or balcony’s intended use, exposure, and movement requirements.
