Usually a public, outdoor space, plaza decks are often exposed to heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic, not to mention weather changes. As such, waterproof plaza decks present challenges to the designer and the waterproofing contractor. In addition to waterproofing, plaza deck maintenance is also essential in order to effectively upkeep an installed system and ensure that long term damage from excess water is avoided. Whether the deck has a paver system or a traffic bearing waterproof system, proper surface drainage and consistent maintenance over an extensive period of time are important.

Located at or above grade level, plaza decks are an important aspect of the aesthetic appeal of any structure. Nothing could be less appealing than unsightly stains that disfigure a concrete surface. As plaza decks are mostly public, a disturbance in appearance could translate into decreased business if the stains are particularly off putting. Not only can water damage disturb the outer façade of a plaza deck, it can also cause more serious cracks that could harm the overall structure. Repairs after the fact are more costly than installing a proper water proofing system from the get go, a procedure that will greatly reduce the risk of water penetration if properly installed using the right equipment.

Placed beneath the overburden of a plaza deck to protect the structure, a water proofing system will safeguard the above concrete surface from water seepage as well as the property below and any occupants. It doesn’t matter if the deck is old or new, preparation for installation is the key to success. Firstly, all surfaces must be properly cleaned. Older surfaces may require concrete repair with materials that are compatible with the waterproofing system. Also, crack preparation and repair must be carefully done prior to installation. After taking into consideration these aspects of installing effective waterproof plaza decks, it should come as no surprise that enlisting the help of professionals is a necessity.
