Case History #135

Project: Crosspointe Condominiums, Murray, UT

Date: March 2012

Cutting corners on waterproofing does NOT
save in the long run.
Problem:
This condominium complex had a complex problem! Many units had shown evidence of water damage. The problem was traced back to failed waterproofing on the balconies. The example above shows a deck that was shared between two units, with a fence between them. The closet on the deck holds the furnace and hot water heater for each, and when the water damaged substrate was tore up, the sheetrock for the townhome below was totally visible.

Over time, a little water can do a lot of damage.


Duradek Solution:
After the damaged substrate had been removed and replaced with a new structure with proper water drainage channels, Duradek Ultra Surcoseal Latte was applied to the deck surface. The vinyl membrane completely protects the new deck surface and guarantees that the residence underneath will not have any risk of water damage or mold issues due to a poorly waterproofed deck above.


Job Notes:
While this project was initiated due to the serious nature of water damage and leaks, the residents of the re-build decks now have the advantage of a low maintenance deck surface with a clean, contemporary appearance.
