Residential Deck Restoration — Project One
The damaged deck surface was repaired and waterproofed to help protect the home below from continued moisture intrusion.
Residential Deck Waterproofing
Protect Your Home From Deck Leaks and Water Damage
A leaking deck can damage the wood, framing, walls, and room below. We repair the source of the problem and install a durable waterproofing system designed for Southern California sun, coastal moisture, and seasonal rain.
A Deck Leak Rarely Stays Just a Deck Leak
Water can work its way through small cracks, failed seams, old coatings, and damaged flashing. Once it reaches the structure below, it may lead to stained ceilings, rotten plywood, damaged framing, and costly repairs.
Active leaks
Water entering through cracks, seams, edges, or failed waterproofing.
Damage below the deck
Water stains, peeling paint, soft ceilings, or moisture inside the home.
Dry rot and weakened wood
Hidden damage to plywood, framing, fascia, trim, and other deck components.

These residential deck projects show the process from damaged surface to finished waterproofing system. We document the condition before work begins, address the underlying issues, and leave the deck clean, protected, and ready to use.
Residential Deck Restoration — Project Two
This deck was affected by the Palisades fires and needed repairs to the surface before waterproofing could be applied. The finished deck is now protected from rain and coastal moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our waterproofing services.
Can you repair my leaking deck?
Yes. We inspect the deck to identify likely entry points, failed waterproofing, damaged materials, and drainage or flashing issues. We then explain the repairs and waterproofing work recommended for your situation.
Do you repair water-damaged wood before waterproofing?
Yes. If we find damaged plywood, framing, flashing, or other materials, those areas should be addressed before a new waterproofing system is installed.
Can a deck leak damage the room below?
Yes. Water that passes through the deck can damage ceilings, walls, insulation, plywood, framing, and interior finishes. Repairing the leak early may help prevent more extensive damage.
How long does residential deck waterproofing take?
Many residential projects take approximately 3 to 5 days, but the schedule depends on the deck size, surface condition, access, weather, drying time, and whether wood or structural repairs are needed.
How much does deck waterproofing cost?
The cost depends on the deck’s size and condition, the amount of repair work required, access, and the waterproofing system selected. We provide an on-site estimate so you can understand the recommended scope before work begins.
What are the signs that my deck needs waterproofing?
Common signs include cracks, peeling or bubbling coatings, soft spots, water stains below the deck, exposed wood, standing water, damaged flashing, and discoloration around seams or edges.
