We have a deck over our garage, basically a flat roof people can walk

We had the same issue in Ballard and used GotRot for Seattle Deck Repair, specifically their waterproof deck repair. They removed the old membrane, found rot in the plywood underneath, replaced it and installed a new waterproofing system with proper slopes and drains. No leaks since. The garage finally stays dry. Honestly, when we did it they had a promotion for deck repair and waterproofing, so ask about current offers. Don't delay, leaks into the garage just get worse.
