BATHROOM DESIGN & BUILD
I have a pickle of a design dilemma today. I have been asked to fix a poor draining torch on deck. The deck is not draining all that well and the builder has asked for a solution. The deck will get sleepers and some kind of Cedar or Composite Decking boards.
The torch on is not the best (poor sloping and pitch) but has passed a local inspection and is as far a s the city goes - Good To Go.
I want to place some sleepers down. Have them graded to the West Corner. And then infill the sleepers so the deck can not hold so much water.
New torch on and a do over is not going to happen. Siding is on. Stucco is up.
I have called Ardex about 8+9 and my rep does not like it. I'm told this is a no go.
What I'm thinking is to coat out the torch on with Ardex 8+9. Three coats. Set the sleepers with Ardex 8+9 and angle iron.
In fill between sleepers with Mapecem premix.
Coat the entire thing out with more 8+9.
Screw the new decking to the sleepers.
Call it a day.
The concept is kind of like adding a brick to a toilet bowl tank.
What do you think Roberto? RSCB? have you tried anything like this before. The deck does not leak. Leaving the deck as is will mean there is a breeding ground for mosquitoes year round.
