FAQ
Questions this page answers
How do you waterproof apartment balconies without relocating residents?
CKR's Zero-Displacement Install Protocol sequences balconies unit by unit and building by building so residents stay home throughout. We've run this at scale, including 13 buildings at Arbor Garden and 165 photo-documented work areas at Jade at Avondale, coordinating directly with the on-site community manager on access and scheduling.
Who pays for balcony waterproofing in a multifamily community?
On owned or operated communities it's typically a capital expense the regional or asset manager approves, often flagged first by the on-site community manager after a failed inspection or a unit-below leak. CKR's No-Surprise Pricing and 48-hour written proposal give managers a fixed number to take into a capex request without a moving target.
How do you schedule balcony work across a whole apartment community?
We build a building-by-building sequence with the community manager, post resident notices, and waterproof in a wave so amenity and leasing operations keep running. At AMLI at Roswell we documented balcony and hallway work across multiple buildings, each tracked in CompanyCam so the manager sees progress photo by photo.
What causes repeat balcony leaks in apartment buildings?
Repeat leaks almost always trace to door thresholds, railing-post penetrations, and deck-to-wall transitions that a prior coating never flashed. CKR's Dec-Tec membrane details those points as one welded sheet, which is why our balcony repairs hold rather than reopening the next storm season.
