We have a deck over a garage (all after thoughts on a raised ranch). It appears there is some sort of roofing material under the deck boards, but they also appear to not be keeping water from leaking into the garage. I think there might have developed some sags where the water pools and eventually finds its way through the floor and drips from the ceiling joists below into the garage. To fix this, my thinking is that I can pull the deck boards (which would use a flipping anyway to the likely still nice looking side) and apply some sort of sealant on top of the current rolled out material. I could swear I’ve seen something that can be brushed on like a driveway sealant, but I’m having a hard time knowing really what I’m looking for. The pooling will continue, I’m sure, until re have enough money to destroy and rebuild the whole thing, but if there is a durable water resistant coating, I figure it’s much better than the significant amount of water dripping (probably 30 gallons or more just from the winter thaw). Thoughts or advice? -- I was a knowitall... until I bought a house |
