waterproofing outdoor 2nd floor travertine deck |
Article Number: 143 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Fri, Jun 29, 2007 at 12:00 AM |
I have a leak over my lanai and I suspect it coming from the 2nd story outdoor travertine deck. The deck base is a OSB board laid on a slope. This was waterproofed with a rubber roofing membrane called hydrostop. The travertine was then thin set and grouted. Later it was sealed. Our climate is South Georgia. This is a new house. How best to determine if the travertine or the grout is the problem? Thanks for the help. Marcia
Dear Marcia:
If the waterproofing membrane is still in place and unscathed, the tiles or the grout cannot be the problem.
Needless to say, from here I can't even begin to guess what the cause of your leak could be.
There's a company called American Leak Detection (
www.americanleakdetection.com)
with franchises a little bit all over the country
.
You may consider inquiring with them.
Ciao and good luck,
Mauri
