The following pictures illustrate several common problems associated with columns and tiled decks. The most common problems include improper waterproofing, flashings and penetrations. The "mud" base below the tile becomes saturated with water and without proper sealing and drainage techniques, slowly leaks into the underlying structure causing critical damage. Likewise, Railing penetrations are the cause of substantial problems. Water enters through unsealed bolts allowing intrusion into the underlying structure.
