Why Do Upstairs Balconies Leak?
Most of the balconies are build with wood; then is covered with a waterproof membrane; after that, a tile or stone is laid on top, which is usually not a good alternative as it is not flexible. When the wood bends, it compromises the waterproofing, and due to that, the tile and grout cracks. That leads to the water seeping below these areas and going down into the house’s interior.
Here are three money-saving steps you MUST take to get to the bottom of your balcony leaks:
- First, try locating the leaks
- Then open up the water damaged ceiling which is below the leaking balcony
- Repair this and before you cover up the ceiling do another leak test
Waterproofing Your Balcony, Several Options
Waterproofing tiled and stoned balconies are the best option to stop the leaks. It covers up to 100% of the leaks. That helps in the contraction and expansion of the wood. Wood is used in building the house, and waterproofing saves the place from water damage.
