The Problem
Before
During
After
The Outcome
The repair process included the following steps:
- Mechanically cleaning the concrete to remove all buildup and debris.
- Sealing all the cracks, the expansion joint, and four drains.
- Re-sloping portions of the deck so water would run to the drains.
- Applying a cementitious polymer base coat over a fiberlath mesh.
- Applying two more cementitious polymer coats for waterproofing and smoothness.
- Applying two coats of urethane sealer for long-term durability and wear.
With normal wear and tear, the new surface only needs to be resealed every 10 years and will last indefinitely.
