Case History #137

Project: Residential Concrete Deck Repair

Date: June 20121

Failed Repair of Stamped Concrete before waterproofing with Duradek
Stamped concrete cracks filled with caulk
is Not an adequate waterproofing solution

Problem:
The original surface of this radiant heated deck was a stamped concrete finish that failed, and the homeowner's first attempt at a solution was to paint over it...but that failed too.
Their second attempt at a solution was to fill in the cracks with caulk; and while that may have slowed the inevitability of water invading the structure, it did not resolve the problem and it was certainly not an attractive finish.

Roof deck waterproofing with Duradek Ultra Vinyl
Duradek Ultra Marble ' Mocha' gives this deck
waterproof protection and an attractive finish.


Duradek Solution:
The owner of this home wanted to know if Duradek could be installed on his radiant heated concrete roof deck. After a year from the initial inquiry, he had a Duradek installer come out to resolve the issue.
The installer first used a sander to remove all of the ridges and bumps on the surface, then professionally installed Duradek Ultra Marble 'Mocha' to protect this roof deck that is directly over top of living space.

Job Notes:
This city in one of Utah's largest ski areas is home to many beautiful, high end homes. After a trial and error method of ineffective solutions, this homeowner finally got what he wanted and what he had set out to achieve years ago...a waterproof, radiant heated, walkable roof deck.
