Properly sloped waterproof decking prevents pooling water, deck deterioration, and water-collection underneath raised decks and balconies.
How does the waterproof deck installation process work?
Our deck membranes are a vinyl leading layer that is adhered to a substrate. Vinyl deck membrane setup involves looking at the slope, type of joist, structure, and plywood spacing of the existing deck before even getting started.
We then test wetness levels and sand the surface again up until it’s smooth and well-prepared for setup. We even get rid of debris between joints and clean the substrate repeatedly as required. When the surface is clear of particles, we use a TufDek ™ patch compound and ensure all joints are completed completely.
We then utilize metal flashing layered in PVC to create a drip edge that sits flush with the deck, permitting water to easily run off the deck. This likewise assists to support the deck membrane.
Customizing your deck
Finally, the waterproofing deck membrane is custom cut to fit the deck and rolled out, trimmed, and fit into place before it adheres to the substrate. The manufacturer-supplied adhesive is then troweled onto the surface. However, before applying the climate-sensitive adhesive, our deck specialists consider temperature and humidity levels so they can adjust timing and other methods accordingly.
Final touches on your new outdoor space
The deck membrane is then rolled onto the adhesive and air bubbles are pressed out. Using flat spreaders or heavy rollers to remove the bubbles, we ensure a totally smooth surface. Dr. Roof considers details such as framing intersects, stairways, steps, door sills, and any other vertical surface where the membrane changes direction and needs to be glued and heat-welded into place.
Overlaps, seams, and areas touching metal flashing are also thermally welded into place to ensure complete waterproofing.
