Scope
What CKR reviews
- Balcony membrane planning for walkable waterproof surfaces
- Door pans, thresholds, rail posts, wall transitions, edges, scuppers, and drains
- Occupied-property phasing for stacked balconies or tenant areas
Approach
How the work gets planned
- Review balcony details that often cause water entry before pricing the surface
- Coordinate waterproofing with access, resident communication, and property schedules
- Use Dec-Tec where the balcony needs a finished pedestrian waterproof membrane
Local angle
Why this page exists
Atlanta balcony projects often involve occupied multifamily or senior living properties. Planning has to account for resident access, stacked conditions, and consistent detail work.
Decision proof
What CKR documents before a decision
- Clear separation between walkable waterproofing and standard low-slope roof membranes
- Photos and notes for slope, substrate, rail penetrations, thresholds, edges, transitions, and occupied-space risk
- A written scope that helps owners, managers, architects, and boards compare Dec-Tec against other surface options
- A next-step recommendation built around planned consultation, documentation, budgeting, and phasing
FAQ
Questions this page answers
Why does my balcony keep leaking into the unit below?
Most balcony leaks start at the door threshold, the railing-post penetrations, or the deck-to-wall transition where a coating was never properly flashed. CKR's Dec-Tec membrane wraps those exact details as one continuous sheet. We documented this scope across multiple AMLI at Roswell buildings, including hallway and unit-level balcony work captured in 100-plus photos on file.
How much does it cost to waterproof a balcony in Atlanta?
Balcony waterproofing pricing depends on square footage, the number of penetrations, and whether the substrate needs repair before membrane goes down. CKR measures every balcony and returns a fixed written number within 48 hours under our No-Surprise Pricing policy, with a $500 credit if the proposal is late.
Do you have to remove the railing to waterproof a balcony?
Not always, but railing posts are a primary leak path, so they must be flashed correctly. Where posts are surface-mounted CKR can detail Dec-Tec around them; where they penetrate the deck we coordinate the sequence so the membrane is sealed to each post. This penetration detailing is the difference between a 10-year fix and a re-leak in one season.
Can balcony waterproofing be done without relocating residents?
Yes. Balcony work is exterior and unit-by-unit, which is ideal for CKR's Zero-Displacement Install Protocol. Residents stay in place while we sequence balconies building by building, the same way we phased 13 buildings at Arbor Garden and 165 photo-documented work areas at Jade at Avondale.
