Why this page exists
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.
FAQ
Questions this page answers
What makes deck waterproofing different from roof waterproofing?
Deck waterproofing must handle regular walking, furniture, railings, thresholds, and finished surface expectations. Standard roof membranes are not always built for that use.
Can Dec-Tec be used for deck waterproofing?
Yes. Dec-Tec is designed for walkable waterproof surfaces and can be a fit when the substrate and details are appropriate.
What should be checked before waterproofing a deck?
Substrate condition, slope, drainage, door thresholds, railings, wall transitions, edges, and what sits below the deck should all be reviewed.
Next step
Plan Deck Waterproofing
Send photos of the deck, what sits below it, and any threshold or railing details. CKR can help identify the next assessment step.
