How to stop balcony efflorescence rotting our timber deck below?

The balcony above our apartment is seeping mineral salts onto our deck below. These salts are eating into the timber deck boards and they are rotting.

 

Other than getting our neighbour to apply some sort of water repellent sealer to their tiles/balcony. Is there anything we can do to the balcony from below ?
