How to Waterproof Your Tile Deck

Does your tile deck have cracks? Is it swelling? Or does it seem rock
solid on top, but soft underneath? Perhaps it shows signs of
discoloration. Whatever the issue, it is likely you have water damage.
Tile is notorious for leaking. Not a worry for Prestige Decking! Watch this video to see the AVM 700 waterproofing system in action.

How to Waterproof Your Tile Deck

Tiles are beautiful but can be expensive. But, the problem isn't cost as much as the grout.

Tile deck grout seeps water, like any other concrete based material.

So,
while you are enjoying the look and feel of your tile, underneath there
could be pooling water. Pooling water = bad. After a while, it causes
dry rot in the wood sub-floor or structural beams. worse yet, oftentimes
a deck repair under tile does not allow for tile salvaging. You get
zapped twice.

Prestige Deck Coating can help! We can waterproof
your balcony, patio, roof, walkway, or stairways. We can prepare your
tile decking to succeed.

AVM Industries has developed a fantastic system for tile deck underlay. Here are their steps  (go here for all the details).

1)
Install a 6 inch wide membrane strip at deck perimeters, joints,
cracks, sheet metals, drains, scuppers, posts, door ways, entry ways,
etc.

2) Use a wider strip if the 6" strip will not provide adequate waterproofing protection.

3) Install the AVM Membrane 700 to all the remaining surfaces with a minimum 2 inch overlap at the seams and completely overlapping the 6 inch strip

4)
Protective coating (optional with the following exception: required
when membrane is installed directly to plywood substrates).

5)
Protective layer: apply the AVM Crete 6700 over the cured membrane 700
at least 1/8 of an inch thick. Now your tile deck underlay is complete!

Prestige
Deck Coating works with each customer to meet individual needs. We use
eco-friendly products. We offer 10 year warranties on most systems. Our
supervisors each have at least 30 years experience in the deck coatings
industry.

Fiberglass Waterproofing Your Deck

You might know what fiberglass waterproofing is, but on a home deck? Yes, the boat and surfboard industry have helped develop
decking technology in many ways. You do not have to settle for a clear
sealer that has to be re-applied each year. You do not have to deal with
a rubber cement deck coating that is sub par. At Prestige Decking, we install a custom deck waterproofing membrane that can last upwards of 30 years!

Fiberglass Waterproofing

 What sets apart Prestige is our fiberglass waterproofing method.

Many
other deck coating companies install a similar product. The often
neglect the key component that ensures a watertight seal. Concrete deck
surfaces are sturdy, but porous. Water soak right into concrete
surfaces. Then it can pool on top of your plywood sub-floor, without
anyone knowing. Until it is too late. This is usually when customers
call us, after dry rot or soft spots are detected.

Our six level, five layer site modified Crete System is flexible, strong and waterproof. Fiberglass waterproofing at its finest.

First, we repair any damage to the plywood sub-floor.

Next, we staple down metal lathe that acts as an anchor for the coating system.

Our first coat is polymer modified concrete.

The second coat is the fiberglass waterproofing matting with resin bonder.

Third is another skim coat of concrete to sandwich the waterproof goodness into an impervious surface.

Fourth is a texture coat of concrete to give grip and pattern.

Last, is the concrete fortified paint sealer in the color of your choice.

Fiberglass
waterproofing complete! Prestige offers free onsite estimates. Our
fiberglass waterproofing experts have up to 40 years experience in the
industry. We use only industry grade products. We are licensed and
bonded. The Crete System comes with a 10 year warranty.

How to waterproof plywood decking

There are a number of ways to waterproof plywood decking. You can stain and use some sort of sealant. You can try to seal the
deck by covering it with waterproof paint. Both of these methods have
their weaknesses. Neither can really guarantee a waterproof seal, and
neither lasts very long. Yearly maintenance is required, at least.

We at Prestige Deck Coating Ca suggest a more reliable and lasting solution.

Waterproof Plywood Decking

 Plywood decking is functional, but not fashionable.

Prestige
Decking can change that dilemma for you. Our Crete waterproof deck
coatings system allows you to keep you plywood deck and add some flair.
Our five layer waterproofing membrane is guaranteed to seal your deck.
Best of all, it goes right over the top of your pre-existing decking. We
even perform deck repair on compromised plywood decking.

Waterproofing plywood decking is as easy as 1,2,3,4,5!

Prep.
We repair any soft spots or damaged parts of the plywood decking using
3/4 inc plywood sheeting. Then we are ready to install our custom system
over the top of the plywood substrate foundation. Deck flashing is
installed along the perimeter to insure against water penetration. Next,
we staple down 24 gauge metal lathe to strengthen the foundation,
provide some flex and provide a bonding agent for our next layer.

1) Our first layer of the system is polymer modified concrete. It gives a rock solid "sidewalk" for your deck!

2) We then "sandwich the sidewalk" with a fiberglass/bonder layer to completely waterproof the deck.

3) To add one more layer of stability, we finish the sandwich with the top bun, another skim coat of polymer modified concrete.

4)
We then use a pneumatic hopper gun to spray a beautiful patten of
concrete non-slip coating. This is also called the texture coat.

5)
Finally, your choice of color adds that touch of flair to your one drab
plywood decking. Two coats of concrete fortified paint sealer finalize
the deck waterproofing system.

 We
guarantee that your plywood deck will not pool or leak for 10 years!
Each of our supervisors have over 30+ year experience in the industry.
We use only the highest quality, eco-friendly materials. Prestige Deck
Coating Ca is your solution to drab and damaged plywood decking.

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.

 Now
you know what you need to know to call us to waterproof a leaky deck!
Our supervisors have 40+ years experience, we offer free on-site
estimates, and up to 10 year warranties.

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

 

Prestige
Decking is your Orange County based deck flashing frenzy provider! We
also specialize in deck repair, deck coating, and deck waterproofing. We
provide services for walkways, stairways, roof decks, patio decks, and
balcony decks. Our supervisors have up to 40 years experience in the
deck coating industry. We offer free estimates onsite. We provide up to a
ten year warranty. Our products are industry standard and our customer
care is on a case by case basis.
