Deck Protection

Water is one of the biggest threats to the longevity of any wood deck.

With this added protection, your deck stays stronger, safer, and ready to enjoy for years to come.

How an Underdeck Dry Space System Works

Unlike full waterproofing, this system doesn’t seal out moisture—it redirects it. Installed beneath your deck surface, it guides rainwater into a drainage system, keeping the space below dry. That means you can enjoy your patio even during wet weather and keep outdoor furniture or storage protected from the elements. It’s an ideal solution for Calgary homeowners who want to make the most of their outdoor space—rain or shine—without worrying about water damage or messy runoff.

What is Underdeck Waterproofing?

Underdeck waterproofing uses a discreet drainage system to keep the space beneath your elevated deck dry and protected. It works by capturing rainwater that falls between the deck boards and safely channeling it away from the structure—preventing pooling, dripping, and long-term moisture damage.

The result? A clean, functional underdeck area you can enjoy year-round. Whether you’re looking to add a finished ceiling, use it for weatherproof storage, or create a cozy outdoor lounge, underdeck waterproofing opens the door to more usable space and a better overall backyard experience.

Enjoy a Dry, Usable Space Under Your Deck with a Drainage System

Under-deck waterproofing turns wasted space into a protected, all-season retreat. At Project Landscape, we specialize in creating dry, functional areas beneath elevated decks—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or storing outdoor essentials.

Imagine enjoying a quiet evening or hosting guests under your deck without worrying about rain or melting snow. With our expert waterproofing solutions, you’ll gain extra living space that’s comfortable, stylish, and built to handle Calgary’s ever-changing weather.
