we have a balcony on the second floor that is leaking inside.
there are some kind of tiles that have cracked and are completely loose.
I would really like to have different tips on solutions to this.
for example, would this work:
lay corrugated sheet metal on top of the tiles and then joists in the valleys of the sheet metal and then decking on top of that?

Is it a concrete balcony, with a room underneath? Old tiles that have frozen and broken over the years?
I don't believe in corrugated metal, but as anaitis describes, many old houses do.
I am currently renovating my balcony, which doesn't have a room underneath, but since water seeps through the balcony, it causes frost damage and trouble underneath.
I have chipped away the old tiles, and the setting concrete (or whatever it's called) underneath, and have reached a layer of cold asphalt, which I will remove and replace with hidroflex from Biltema, smooth out and lay new tiles, when (if?) it stops raining. You don't really know how long the hidroflex will last, but I absolutely don't think the asphalt method is better, so...
