Looking at and reading your last post brought up 15 years of frustration with our deck which is framed over our garage. Our house is built into and up a hill.
I've ripped out the concrete two times and replaced various and sundry "waterproof" systems to try to eliminate the leaking, but so far have not succeeded. The problem comes with heat expansion and use. Our patio is just for sitting and watching the golf course, bbq, etc. but regardless of the system I've used the heat expansion and contraction has always caused leads eventually. For the last rebuild (rip out the slate, concrete and underlay to get to the plywood flooring and remove the porch siding) I've used elastomeric cloth and filler. First on the plywood and then on top of the slab and up the sides. I've always wanted to ask Norm Abrams what he would do. Maybe a solid welded copper sheet is the only way; but how would that take the stress of basketball? Anyway I'll be interested in seeing what you decide to do to use. |
