Signs You Need Deck Repairs

Decks are completely exposed to their environment, whether that includes heavy snow, rain, or winds. These environmental changes can lead to deck deterioration and other issues that need professional repair.

Knowing the early warning signs can alert you to the condition of your deck so that you can safely enjoy family barbecues, nights by the fire pit, and early morning peace and quiet without worry.

Signs that your deck needs repairs include:

• Rotting wood support posts and beams: If you notice parts of your deck rotting, it can affect the structural integrity of your deck. Depending on the age of your deck and the building code regulations when it was installed, your support posts and beams may be placed directly on the ground and exposed to wet soil. This can cause your beams to rot from exposure to excess moisture.
• Deteriorating rails: Your deck’s rails play a crucial role in protecting your loved ones from injury. If you notice a weak spot or broken part of your rails, it’s important to contact a contractor for repair services. If left unchecked, a single weak spot can spread to other parts of your deck and compromise the integrity of your deck rails.
• Little or no maintenance: Part of owning and enjoying a deck is knowing that your safety and the safety of your guests are secured. Having your deck repaired when needed ensures it’s up to building and safety standards.

When Should I Replace My Deck?

An unsafe deck that isn’t fit for use prevents you from enjoying your outdoor living space. Knowing when to replace your existing deck isn’t as complicated as it may sound. If your deck repairs cost close to half the price of having a new deck installed, it’s time for a replacement.

If you’re considering replacing your deck, make sure you take into consideration:

• The material life span: Has your deck material reached its peak life expectancy? Traditional wood decks last for 10 to 15 years, capped composite decks last for over 30 years, and capped polymers can provide 50 years or more. Understanding the material life span and the age of your deck can give you a good idea of its current condition.
• Wood rot: If your deck is starting to show signs of wood rot, it may be time for a replacement. Wood rot can lead to further critical support damages that can make your deck unsafe for use. Wet, discolored wood that falls apart and flakes away is a clear sign of wood rot.
• Damage under your deck: The underside of your deck is probably the most important part. All the support beams that hold up your structure are beneath your deck floors. If there is extensive damage to the beams and structural support, you need a new deck.
