Balcony Moisture Problems
Water can cause a lot of damage to balconies. Innovative Construction Solutions can determine if your balcony is leaking and where. This will help us isolate the source of the leaks in order to restore or rebuild weathered balconies and deck drainage systems to prevent future leaking and damage.
The reasons for balcony water intrusion include:
- Insufficient slope:The balcony surface must have an adequate slope that allows water to drain off quickly. If there is an inadequate or negative slope that does not drain water properly, or drains it toward the building, water can pool on the balcony, causing it to absorb water to the point where it is no longer safe.
- Inadequate flashing:Flashing is a thin layer of waterproof material that keeps water from going where it doesn’t belong. Without flashing, there is nothing to prevent water from seeping from the balcony into your home and cause serious structural damage over time.
- Poor waterproofing membrane: Proper waterproofing of a balcony involves laying down a waterproof membrane as a complete barrier to water penetration. This waterproofing measure can fail, however, primarily due to poor workmanship or poor surface preparation.
Part of our water management service involves the use of state-of-the-art technology such as thermal imaging and electronic water detection to help us identify the source of the leaks and focus on problem areas to prevent future damage.
Construction Defects and Structural Deficiencies
In addition to balcony and deck moisture problems, Innovative Construction Solutions can help identify and mitigate construction defects such as poor workmanship, improper use of wood or fasteners, failure to add flashing, or use of the wrong concrete mix, among other things. Our skilled team of professionals can also identify structural deficiencies that have developed over time or may be inherent in the balcony design.
