Florida’s climate is hard on outdoor surfaces. Heavy rainfall, humidity, and salt air create conditions that lead to water damage. Moisture gets into balconies, decks, and rooftops, then breaks down materials over time.
Cache Roofing has protected Jacksonville properties for over 20 years. We handle balconies, patios, rooftop decks, and commercial walkways with waterproofing systems built for North Florida weather.
Premium Waterproofing Systems, Professionally Installed
We use industry-leading waterproofing membranes and coatings designed for high exposure and heavy use. Our systems are seamless, durable, and aesthetically clean, engineered to work in Florida’s toughest conditions.
Where We Work And What We Waterproof
Second-story balconies and elevated decks face real challenges. Water that gets through doesn’t just damage the deck, it seeps into the structure below, causing rot, mold, and support beam failure. Our waterproofing services create a sealed barrier that directs water away.
Rooftop decks deal with direct sun, driving rain, and foot traffic. Standard roofing materials don’t hold up with people walking on them. We install systems designed for walkable surfaces, waterproof protection with slip resistance and UV stability.
Ground-level patios aren’t immune to damage. Water pooling on concrete seeps through cracks, undermining foundations and creating trip hazards. Waterproofing extends surface life and prevents costly repairs.
The Pli-Dek system uses a two-part polyurethane membrane with a textured top coat. It's flexible, important in Florida where temperature swings cause expansion and contraction. Available in multiple colors and can be applied over wood or concrete.
Sealoflex provides a seamless, elastomeric coating for concrete surfaces. It bridges small cracks and creates a monolithic waterproof barrier. Works well for larger commercial applications with multiple surfaces.
Waterproofing your decks, patios, and balconies will help them stand up to the tough Florida weather and prevent water damage from costing your money and time.
Each project begins with a roof inspection. We assess surface condition, check for water damage, and identify structural issues before waterproofing begins. If we find damage, we’ll outline necessary repairs.
Surface preparation determines how well the system holds up. We remove old coatings, repair cracks, and clean the substrate. Then we apply the membrane layer and protective top coat. Each layer needs adequate cure time.
Once installed, a quality system needs minimal maintenance. We recommend annual inspections to catch any developing issues early. Clean the surface regularly to prevent buildup of dirt and debris, and watch for standing water that might indicate drainage problems.
Most waterproofing systems last 10-15 years with regular maintenance. The lifespan depends on factors like sun exposure, traffic levels, and how well the surface drains. When recoating is necessary, existing systems can often be refreshed rather than completely replaced.
Plidek warranties 10 years with required service and maintenance.
We do not waterproof over tile. However, you can tile over our waterproofing only option. We can waterproof concrete decking but cast in place only; no hollow core concrete. Waterproofing over concrete is known as Con Dek.
No, we use non-slip finishes that are safe for foot traffic even when wet.
Most surfaces are ready for use within 24-48 hours, depending on weather for cure time
We offer different finish options that can improve the original look. However, we do not waterproof patios or anything on ground level. We only waterproof balconies and rooftop living spaces.
New roofing construction projects have waterproofing requirements that meet Florida Building Code. We work directly with home builders and general contractors throughout Jacksonville, coordinating installations with construction schedules. Our team understands timing requirements for new builds.
For renovations, we can waterproof existing balconies and decks without complete rebuilds. If the framing is structurally sound, we remove old materials and install a fresh waterproofing system.
