Why We Only Use EDPM Pond Liner for Under Deck Drainage Systems

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) pond liner is a highly durable synthetic rubber material widely recognized for its exceptional waterproofing qualities. Due to resilience and versatility, EPDM is ideally suited for use as an under-deck waterproofing material, providing a reliable barrier against the Seattle rain. EPDM's flexibility allows for custom installations, fitting any shape or size of deck, patio, or porch, and its resistance to UV rays and temperature fluctuations ensures it maintains its integrity over time.

  • Superior Durability: EPDM pond liner resists cracking, peeling, and erosion remarkably well, ensuring your deck system remains intact and functional for years to come.

  • Weather Resistance: It is exceptionally capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, intense sunlight, and fluctuating temperatures, making it ideal for Seattle's climate.

  • Low Maintenance: The need for maintenance is significantly reduced with EPDM, as its durability and resistance minimize wear and tear, saving homeowners time and money.

  • Eco-Friendly: EPDM contributes positively to the environment, as it is recyclable and produces a lower environmental impact during its manufacturing process.

  • Flexible Design: The material's flexibility allows it to be custom-fitted to any shape or size of deck or patio, offering endless possibilities for creative and aesthetically pleasing installations.

  • Leak-proof Performance: EPDM provides unparalleled waterproofing capabilities, ensuring that your outdoor living space remains dry and comfortable, regardless of the weather.

  • Cost-Effective: Offering an excellent balance between quality and cost, the EPDM pond liner is a wise investment for homeowners looking for a high-quality, long-deck drainage solution without breaking the bank.

Reasons to Get a Deck Drainage System

Installing a drainage and waterproof system under your decking serves several purposes, enhancing the functionality and enjoyment of your outdoor living space. Here are some of the key features and benefits:

  1. The most straightforward purpose of deck gutters is to create a dry area underneath your deck. This allows you to use the space below your decking, even during rainy weather, making it perfect for storing outdoor furniture, grills, or other items you wish to keep dry.

  2. Keeping the area under your deck dry allows you to turn unused or seasonal space into a year-round outdoor living area. You can set up an outdoor seating area, dining space, or even an outdoor kitchen to increase your usable living space without needing a new construction project.

  3. Adding deck gutters can improve the value of your home. It's an attractive feature for potential buyers, as it adds to the usable square footage of outdoor living space, offering more functionality and appeal to the property. Consider combining it with a waterproof pergola on top of the deck to maximize outdoor living space.

  4. Modern under-deck drainage systems come in various styles and materials, allowing you to improve the underside of your deck with a more finished and pleasing look. This can range from simple, functional designs to more elaborate systems with lighting and architectural details.

  5. Beyond just keeping the area dry for use, deck gutters protect the structure of your deck and the space below it from water damage. Diverting rainwater away helps prevent rot, mold, and mildew, extending the life of your deck and any features underneath it.

  6. A deck drainage system can also improve the overall drainage around your deck area. Capturing and redirecting rainwater can help prevent pooling and erosion around the deck's foundation, contributing to the longevity of the structure and the landscaping around it.
