Waterproofing First, Proof Second, Concrete Last
We install the Elevation® waterproofing system by Formulated Materials: per Formulated, 200,000+ balconies and 10,000,000+ sq ft installed, with a 10-year limited warranty on the S60 membrane. Waterproofing first: every edge and penetration is flashed with termination pockets, drip edges, base flashing, corners, and railing embed pans, then the deck is sheeted with the S60 membrane at the sheathing level and every seam is sealed. Proof second: the deck is flood tested and inspected while the membrane is still visible, reachable, and fixable. Concrete last: elevated concrete is poured over the proven membrane and sloped to drain, so the waterproofing lives protected under the slab. Our mix is roughly a quarter lighter than standard concrete, delivering slope and a durable walking surface without overloading the framing.
One Subcontractor, One Warranty, No Finger-Pointing
When a concrete sub places the deck and a separate waterproofing sub coats it, any future leak becomes a dispute between the two. We self-perform the entire assembly, the waterproofing system at the sheathing level and the sloped elevated concrete wear surface over it, under one contract and one point of responsibility. And because we are also your interior underlayment sub, the pump, the Smart Batch® GC-1, and the mobilization are already on your site.
