WHEN WOODEN BEAMS & POSTS BEGIN TO ROT

A robust and healthy foundation of a house, if left unchecked in the long run, can cause permanent damage to its structural integrity. Water is highly absorbent for the wood, which results in heavy rotting of the Deck eventually. Hence, the recent Building Code suggests a deck on the concrete floor. A suggestive measure is to inspect the Deck every few months for long-lasting furnishings of your outdoors.

WHEN THE FOOTING OF THE DECK IS SINKING/CRACKIN

GSoil erosion, weathering, and thawing are reasons why soil under the Deck loosens and sinks the Deck in. However, a concrete deck has durability, which soil doesn't have. When poured on improperly prepared soil, concrete footings don't stand much chance against the abovementioned factors.

WHEN YOU NOTICE SPLINTERS AROUND THE POSTS

A splinter is a concern not only for a man's hands but for the health of the deck boards as well. Replacing one or two heavy splintered boards is the right solution for your deck problems. Yet, the case of almost every panel needs urgent attention and care by J.C.S. Building & Remodeling in Scranton. As prolonged deterioration can lead to permanent damage to the Deck, timely sealings and repairs can boost the Deck's lifespan.
