When Balconies Go Bad - Waterproofing Details and Professional Installation Are Critical to Avoid Dangerous Situations

This shocking video clip provided by Duradek Dealer, Paul at Golden Gate Enterprises is a vivid example of why waterproofing details are so important, and why it is so critical to use a qualified waterproofing professional like the trained and authorized Duradek installers.
