A well-executed parking structure preventive maintenance and restoration program would normally include washing all floor surfaces and flushing any dirt and grimes, as well as sealing all cracks and tears in the surface prior to application of protective deck coatings. The layer of deck coatings to be re-applied depends on the extent of damage to the membrane.

Deck coatings fulfill a very crucial role in preserving the good condition of coated surfaces. Parking lots and garages are often made of concrete foundation, and there are many deck coatings formulations that are created to perform well on concrete surfaces.

Since parking structures encounter many problems from all kinds of physical, mechanical and pedestrian impacts, not to mention the weather's contribution in assaulting these deck areas, preventive maintenance should be done regularly to keep the parking decks in top condition.

Parking decks, garages and parking lots are some of the constantly hardest-hit areas in any facility. The parking lot's deck coatings take continuous physical beating everyday from vehicular, mechanical and pedestrian traffic. The natural elements like sunlight, rain, wind, snow and ice further add damage and abrasion that weaken the deck coatings, in particular, and the parking areas, in general. In many industrial facilities, corrosive chemicals and liquids that are transported from and to the facility via the parking areas can spill and add more havoc to the parking deck coatings.

One of the most common problems of concrete decks is the constant exposure to water. Due to its location and use, it is often subjected to moisture seepage that comes in a variety of form -- water vapor, flooding, or liquid contaminants. Concrete's porous surface allows moisture to pass through, causing slow structural deterioration. Furthermore, if the moisture comes in contact with the reinforcing steel underneath the deck surface, it can lead to corrosion and damage.

To repair and protect concrete decks from deterioration, protective coatings should be properly applied. There are deck coatings products that are designed with concrete's porosity in mind. They prevent moisture, soluble salts, and foreign materials from seeping into the substrate. Other types of protection coatings offer chemical, corrosion and freeze/thaw resistance, depending on the need of the deck in question.

Concrete’s versatility makes it a typical choice of material for deck structures. But while concrete is strong and durable, it possesses particular properties that make it vulnerable to certain environmental factors. This makes decks based on concrete materials vulnerable to deterioration.
