Editor's Note-These photo's are of a job I bid on for a tile deck
waterproofing system. The previous system had failed miserably and
caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage to the structure.
The general hired another decking contractor, whose name shall remain anonymous.
They were installing the flashing last week when I stopped by.
This is what I saw in the few minutes I was there.
This job is on a multi-million dollar home on the beach in Ventura. I was told I was to high in price.
Lowest price doesn't mean high quality!
Here we see the drip edge terminated at the column.
Note the apx 1" return up the wall...how the hell is any paper
ever gonna lap over that properly? And where do you think
the water is going to go at this area?
Probably into the contiguous building materials instead of out and over.
Above is the window/door pans at one area of the deck.
Enlarge this pic (Right click on image, click "view image") to see
what I'm critiquing better. The contractor is hacking together
his flashings to make a door pan and window pan. Note the lack of caulk
at the seams. I only uise one piece pans in my door and window openings.
Deck Expert's prediction-this job is gonna be a massive leaker! File under "Future Work"
