If the timber or concrete slab underneath is already waterlogged and rotting, a surface patch won't save it. However, if the structure is fully sound, we can use clear, deep-penetrating epoxy seals. But for long-term protection, a complete tear-out ensures the rot stops completely.

When a balcony doesn't slope toward the drains, water sits in pools along the edges or doors. This constant pooling moisture eats through the perimeter joints, stains the brickwork, and causes severe concrete spalling (concrete cancer) on balcony edges.
