Getting ready to install a gutter system, there was not on before and that meant all the water run off was running down the fascia.
Duradek's Classic Barley is installed over the existing failed coating.
Obvious water leaking into the storage room below.
This had been going on for a few years all the way down the supporting columns to the cement slab below.
These had been covered with Stucco. All the support columns had to be replaced simply from water getting in there and rotting the OSB and dimensional lumber.
The water was running off the deck for the most part, a few puddles but around the stairs and over the edge is where all the trouble came from. It is the details that fail most often.
This coating was applied over the drip edge and when it was taken off you can see the discoloration from the water. It was leaking through the coating and getting under the drip edge, then all the way down to the ground. What was going to be a simply covering of the deck turned out to be a very expensive repair.
