Roll-on waterproofing systems are often prone to failure over time, especially in high-traffic areas and at critical points such as seams, penetrations, and junctions where movement and environmental stress take their toll. On this deck, water infiltration eventually led to significant damage, compromising many of the engineered joists and structural framing components. As a result, extensive repairs were required to restore the deck’s structural integrity.
Our team began by removing the damaged materials, carefully assessing and reinforcing the underlying support to ensure a solid foundation. With the structure restored, we prepared the surface for a new waterproofing solution—Duradek, a high-performance, vinyl membrane that provides reliable protection against water intrusion. Unlike roll-on systems, Duradek creates a seamless, fully adhered barrier that flexes with the deck and remains resilient through seasonal changes, high foot traffic, and exposure to the elements.
The new Duradek membrane was meticulously installed to provide a durable, low-maintenance surface that shields the deck from further water damage and safeguards the valuable storage space below. Beyond its protective qualities, the Duradek surface also offers a clean, modern look, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal. With its vibrant, textured finish, the deck is now more inviting than ever—a safe, comfortable space to relax and entertain.
Thanks to the new waterproof membrane, the deck’s owners can enjoy peace of mind, knowing their deck is well-protected and will continue to serve as a comfortable outdoor retreat for years to come. This upgrade not only enhances the deck’s longevity but also improves the property’s overall value, making it a worthwhile investment for the future.
