Someone spent a lot of money on fancy tile...
and it's all over a big bunch of crap waterproofing!
This tile is heaved up from the deck expanding and contracting.
This deck isn't suitable for tile, but they tiled anyway.
The tile is higher than the threshold.
Water will be run down under the tile,
rather than out and over. Result is failure of the tile and waterproofing.
Stupidity rises to a new level....
Hey Bright Eyes, where did you get the stupid idea to run
your drip irrigation lines under the tile waterproofing and bring it up through
the deck?
Underneath this area, the stucco is severely cracked...hmmm I wonder why?
So here is a 1500 + square foot tile covered deck in Avila Beach. The deck is not suitable
for tile for a hundred reasons, but someone
went and did it anyway.
No room under door thresholds, framing is 2x8's over 16" on center joists, OSB substrate,
improper waterproofing, joists cut through to run utility lines, tsk tsk.
I figure about $70,000-$80,000 to redo with a traffic coating, flashing and new plywood + costs to
repair framing and stucco.
