Deck, balcony and building-envelope waterproofing for homes in Sacramento and Northern California. We look at how water moves across your home, then protect the surfaces and transitions where it gets in.

Roofs, decks and walls treated as one system
Existing waterproofing assessed and restored
Sacramento and the surrounding region
Hover the numbers to see the five areas of a home where we most often find water intrusion, and where our waterproofing work focuses.
A coating alone cannot fix a drainage problem or a missing flashing. We address the whole path water takes into your home.
Walkable waterproof systems for decks and balconies, especially those built over bedrooms, garages and living space.
Elevated surfaces need drainage, protection and a continuous membrane that ties into parapets, walls and drains.
Where a roof or deck meets a wall is one of the most common places for water to enter a home. We detail these transitions correctly.
Existing waterproofing that is cracking, peeling or leaking can often be assessed and restored rather than torn out completely.
We install only the waterproofing systems we are qualified and appropriately licensed to apply. System selection depends on the substrate, exposure and the manufacturer’s requirements.
Select an application to see how a typical waterproofing system is assembled, and hover a layer to see what it does.
Simplified, typical build-ups for illustration. Final systems depend on testing, substrate conditions and manufacturer requirements.
We start by understanding how water is getting in, then build a solution around it.
Decks, transitions and exterior surfaces inspected for water entry.
Photos and findings showing failures and affected areas.
A written scope with the recommended system and details.
Repairs, detailing and installation to manufacturer requirements.
Closeout photos and guidance for long-term performance.
Not every failing deck or balcony needs a full tear-out. Our assessment tells you which path makes sense, and why.
When the system is mostly sound
When the system has failed
Your written proposal spells out the scope, materials and warranty terms for the option you choose.
Answers for homeowners with decks, balconies or water intrusion concerns.
Leaks usually start at edges, drains, door thresholds or where the deck meets the wall, rather than through the middle of the surface. A failed or missing flashing detail is a common cause.
Not always. A decorative coating may not be a waterproof system. Walkable waterproofing uses a membrane designed to keep water out of the structure, with a wear surface on top.
Often, yes. If the existing system is sound in most areas, failed areas and details can be repaired and the system recoated. We assess the condition before recommending a scope.
It is the joint where a roof or deck meets a wall. It needs base flashing, counter-flashing and proper integration with the wall barrier to keep water out.
Yes. Rooftop terraces and elevated walking surfaces need a continuous membrane, proper drainage and protection for the wear surface. We evaluate the structure and drainage first.
