Materials
Inspect the deck membrane for cracking or delamination
Twice a year, in May.
What to do
Get down and look closely at the whole surface, particularly the seams and the edges.
Why it matters
This membrane is the roof of whatever is below the deck. Habitat is unusually direct: defects "must be dealt with immediately to avoid any warranty default".
What to look for
- Cracking, peeling or bubbling anywhere in the surface
- Punctures — a dropped tool or a chair leg is enough
- Seams or edges lifting away from the substrate
- Staining on the ceiling of whatever is underneath, which means it is already through
Where this comes from
Habitat Studio p.15 requires monthly inspection. Twice a year is what we nudge; the manual's figure is the one that governs your warranty, so read this before deciding.
Catch it while it’s still maintenance.
