Deck Waterproofing

At Bear Flag Construction we want to help you keep your decks walkways and balconies waterproofed and beautiful for many years to come. 

​

Anytime there is  a deck, walkway area or stair landing attached to a building, that area must be waterproofed by a professional company that has the experience and know how to make sure the job is done right the first time.  

By waterproofing, we mean not only the surface of the decking area or walkway, but most importantly, the transition area where the deck or walkway meets the wall that it is connecting too. If even the smallest amount of water were to seep into the decking area through any cracks, holes, or other openings, water can easily penetrate the structural components of the building, causing major wood rot and  toxic molds to form.

Water penetration into a building’s structure can cause very expensive damage, which would require the services of a structural engineer and possibly an architect. Water penetration can be easily avoided by installing and maintaining a proper waterproofing system.

Properly waterproofed decks  will consist of several layers, including flashing to seal off the area where the deck meets the wall of the adjacent building. Decks should be inspected every 3-5 years, depending on the system installed. Any small cracks should be repaired at this time, and the top coating should be reapplied (referred to as resealing), to preserve the waterproofing integrity and extend the life of the decks.
