5 simple steps to waterproof a leaky deck!

How
to waterproof a leaky deck? The not so great news first. You cannot
truly save your leaky deck with DIY methods. DIY is a bad and temporary
fix at best. Now the great news! If you hire a quality, experienced deck
repair company like Prestige Deck Coating, the life span of your decking can be extended for decades.

Waterproof a Leaky Deck

Leaky decks.
Leaky deck is a big problem that can spiral into significant structural
damage. It is like a growing cancer. It grows out of sight, underneath
the surface. Before you know it, it has spread all throughout the
substructure of the deck. It next rots out the floors and walls, and
becomes a puddle in your living space. The substructure, your walls,
your home's interior. Doctor's diagnosis? Mold, then a full remodel of a
room. Bad news...

"To waterproof a leaky deck starts from the bottom up."

A word about waterproofing.
To waterproof a leaky deck starts from the bottom up. In other words,
you cannot just put some plaster over a soft spot or hole and expect
lasting success.  Thus, a fatal flaw of DIY methods. You can get an in
depth explanation of leaky deck prep in our former post, Deck Repair Flair.

"There are only five simple steps to waterproof a leaky deck."

5 to thrive!
The good news is that hiring a licensed decking expert can insure
lasting results. While a deck waterproofing specialist is the "make or
break" factor, there are only five simple steps to waterproof a leaky
deck. It is not the difficulty of method that makes one an reliable deck
resurfacing contractor. It is the execution, materials, and creative
ingenuity in approaching each unique deck coating project.

1) polymer modified concrete: after the deck repair and lathe installation comes the fortifying layer of cementitious base.

2) mat fiberglass and bonder: we then roll on the key layer in our waterproofing process, watertight!

3) polymer modified skim coat: the fiberglass needs to be sandwiched in between concrete for strength.

4) pneumatic gun sprayed texture coating: texture equals safety. A no-slip surface gives grip and aesthetic appeal.

5) two coats of concrete paint sealer: waterproof sealer seals the deal, in your color of choice.

Deck Flashing

what we have been saying for years...http://youtu.be/G8CH9TUjXro?list=UUpLq4Xbwtb756vJ-G4dbmDg www.prestigedecking.com

Deck
flashing is the unsung hero of the waterproofing industry. Deck repair
of rusted or damaged metal is what secures the perimeter from
water intrusion. Some decks have such intensive dry rot and other water
damage that what you need is a deck flashing frenzy! Enter Prestige
Deck Coating. We are deck coating experts and watertight connoisseurs.

Deck Flashing Frenzy

One such deck flashing frenzy took us to  San Juan Capistrano Ca. This particular job consisted of three metal repairs.

Door Pans.
For this decking, we were faced with the necessity of complete removal
and replacement of the metal door pans. We custom design our pans to
ensure they are a perfect fit for your door threshold. This also allows
us to fully waterproof this crucial area of the deck coatings.

Drip Edge Flashing.
This deck had an open ledge. This means the excess water sheets off the
edge. Because of constant contact with water, poorly installed drip
edge flashing often rusts out. This deck flashing frenzy was staring to
get fun!

Diato Metal.
Three sides of the deck were framed with a wall. Not a problem. We use
diato/combo metal to keep the water out of the cracks. This type of
flashing works well with stucco or any paneled wall.

No Prestige deck flashing frenzy is complete without our signature Crete Decking System.

This
five layer deck waterproofing system has been site modified over the
years for maximum sealing. The basic service is as follows:

1) polymer modified concrete 

2) mat fiberglass and bonder

3) polymer modified skim coat

4) pneumatic gun sprayed texture coating

5) two coats of concrete paint sealer

Beautiful Balcony Deck Repair

San Juan Capistrano Ca is known for its rustic beauty. Rolling hills
near the ocean elicit images of ranches and plentiful orchards. The ranches and orchards have thinned out, but the beauty remains. Prestige Deck Coating adds to that beauty with our signature balcony deck repair. Clean lines and waterproof coatings, a winning combination.

Balcony Deck Repair

We traveled to an apartment complex to perform a balcony deck repair project that turned out beautiful!

Plywood Re-Sheeting.
There was a quite a bit of rust intrusion, so we had to rip out all of
the existing coating down to the studs.We then replaced the plywood with
3/4 inch sheeting. This allowed us to lay a solid foundation for our
deck waterproofing system.



Door Pans. The the flashing was rusty, so we installed a new door pan underneath the main  door.



Drip Edge Flashing.
This deck was open on three sides, so we tore out he existing drip edge
flashing and replaced it. In order to match the fascia board color, we
repainted it as well.

 

Railing repair.
This deck had wrought iron railing. Not a problem for Prestige Decking!
Depending on the damage to the deck coating, you have a few options. We
can remove the railing and reinstall it after our service. We can work
around it. If the railing is rusty, we can repair the railing, weld it, and then reattach it.

Crete Deck Coatings System.
The final step in your San Juan Capistrano Ca balcony deck repair
service is our waterproofing membrane. This is a five layer waterproof
coating designed for use over plywood sub-floors.

1) metal
lathe is stapled on top of the plywood to help the coatings adhere as
well as provide flexibility and strength to the final product.

2) polymer modified concrete is swathed across the entire decking, sealing the deck surface.

3) Fiberglass matting and bonder are applied to fully waterproof the area.

4) another skim coat layer of concrete sandwiches the waterproofing properties.

5) a your choice of texture is sprayed across the deck to achieve aesthetic and safety grip.

6) two coats of waterproof paint sealer in your choice of color are rolled on.

Deck Repair Care For Your Imperial Dryness

Prestige Deck Coating lives up to its name. We provide prestigious deck repair care for your imperial dryness. Clever play on words, but
more importantly, a dry deck waterproofing experience. One of our
latest royal visits was to perform service  in Fullerton CA.

Deck Repair Care

We flexed our muscles, literally. This deck repair care project was huge, over 1,400 square feet. Not a problem for Prestige Decking!

Flex System.
There was no dry rot repair or plywood re-sheeting to be done, so we
installed our Flex System. The Flex System is a multi-layer
waterproofing membrane designed for use over plywood sub-floors. It is
very similar to our Crete Decking System. It is just the top half of it.

We
don't try to up sell our customers. You might only need a top coating
because your existing deck is solid, with only some surface cracking.
This is another reason to go with Prestige Decking. We treat our
customers like royalty.

Check out the process:

 1) We custom fit and adhere fiberglass matting to the existing deck coating. We roll on  industry grade bonder for a fully waterproof layer.

2) We apply a thinly troweled layer of polymer modified concrete to strengthen the decking and "sandwich" the fiberglass.

3) We add your color choice of  two coats of waterproof paint sealer.

 

Royal
service from loyal servants of your imperial dryness! Masterpiece
complete. With Prestige Deck Coating, you get a threefold promise of
deck repair care.

 

1) High quality, industry grade products that have been tested and modified onsite.

2) Foremen with over 40 years of experience in this particular industry.

3) Customer care that is customized to your needs. We are the triple threat of deck repair companies! 

 

We
offer free onsite estimates and up to a ten year warranty. We serve all
of Orange County, Riverside County, North San Diego County, and even
Los Angeles County.

Pacific Plywood Resheeting

Hot and dry Mission Viejo is just a hop skip and a jump from the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Prestige Deck Coating is located right down the road in Capistrano Beach. So, for years, we have had plenty of opportunity to practice our plywood resheeting techniques.  With the addition of random rain, it makes for a harsh climate for decks.

Plywood Resheeting

We recently performed an extensive plywood resheeting overhaul on an "old mission" deck.

Because
many of the patio decks, balcony decks, pool decks, stairways, and
walkways in Mission Viejo were built in the 1970's, they are in dire
need of deck repair. Technology has met time, and Prestige Decking is
there to wed the two into a waterproofing masterpiece!

Plywood Resheeting. Dry rot had invaded this decking, so we removed all of the damaged plywood. We laid down 3/4 inch sheets to cover the deck. The earlier deck had been infiltrated by water pooling.

Stucco Repair.
We removed eight inches of stucco in order to install the diato metal
around the perimeter. This fits snug under the stucco wall to fully
waterproof an enclosed deck.

Drip Edge Flashing.
This deck had a partial edge, so as well as the diato metal, we
installed drip edge flashing. This allows the excess water to sheet off
of the deck coating.

Deck Waterproofing System.
We installed the Crete Decking System. We have developed and tweaked
this system over the years  to specialize for the Orange County CA
climate. It is a five layer, fully waterproof membrane designed for
decks with plywood sheeting.

Plywood
resheeting is a cinch when you have experienced, prompt, courteous, and
knowledgeable Prestige Deck Coating applying your deck waterproofing
system!
