Best for commercial and multifamily decks where the surface is used by residents, guests, staff, or tenants and water intrusion would affect occupied areas below.
Deck waterproofing
Deck waterproofing is not just about keeping rain off plywood. The system has to handle foot traffic, furniture, thresholds, railings, drainage, and the space below.

Scope
Approach
Local angle
Atlanta decks see heat, humidity, furniture loads, and frequent wet-dry cycles. Details around posts, doors, and drains need to be planned before membrane work begins.
Decision proof
FAQ
Atlanta walkable-deck waterproofing typically runs by the square foot of deck plus prep, flashing, and drain detailing, so the only honest number is a measured one. CKR's No-Surprise Pricing locks the scope before work starts, and our 48-Hour Written Proposal Guarantee puts a fixed figure in your hands within two business days, backed by a $500 credit if we miss it.
For walkable exterior decks CKR installs Dec-Tec, a reinforced PVC membrane rated for foot traffic, furniture, and ponding. Unlike paint-on coatings that crack and re-leak, Dec-Tec is a single fully-adhered sheet with hot-air-welded seams. We've documented Dec-Tec deck and balcony installs at AMLI at Roswell and our Kirkwood walk-pad project, all on file in CompanyCam.
A correctly installed Dec-Tec walkable membrane carries a manufacturer warranty in the 10-to-15-year range and routinely outlasts it when seams and drains are maintained. CKR backs the labor with a 10-Year No-Leak Workmanship Pledge, so the membrane and the installation are both covered rather than just the material.
Yes. Most of the decks CKR waterproofs sit directly over living units, lobbies, or amenity rooms. Our Zero-Displacement Install Protocol stages work around occupied buildings with no resident relocation, which is how we handled multi-building jobs like Arbor Garden's 13 buildings and Jade at Avondale without emptying units.
