One of the most common problems is a leaky deck. Waterproofed decks that have been built over living spaces often lead to weathertightness issues. Any failure in the deck\u2019s waterproofing means that moisture gets into the house, causing rot and compromising the supporting framing. The result can range from expensive structural damage to complete deck failure.<\/p>\n<p>To complicate matters, it can be difficult to gauge the condition or extent of any deterioration to your deck purely on its appearance. Some decks will look fine, when in reality, water is getting underneath the surface and causing problems away out of sight. Untreated timber cantilevered decks are the most at risk. As they are unsupported at one end they can quickly become unsafe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leaky Deck Repairs in Auckland<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many styles of deck can be problematic, from closed in decks with solid balustrades to any deck with poorly designed and undersized drainage outlets.
