I am about to do a second storey addition on my house. As part of the addition, I want to have a rooftop terrace/large balcony (20-30 sqm), sitting on top of the ground floor ceiling. It's not floating.
I've talked to some builders and they reckon it is asking for trouble because it will surely leak someday.
- Is it true that no matter how good the water proofing is, it will leak in the near future?
- If it does leak, do we have to rip out the tiles and redo the floor?
