Your deck is just like your body. It needs regular maintenance to stay in shape. And when things go wrong from time to time, they need a little tender loving care. You get regular physical exams and routine lab tests, right? Well, your deck needs a regular check-up from time to time too. When a licensed Orange County deck contractor inspects your deck on a regular basis, they can catch a small problem before it becomes big. A small deck leak repair bill beats a huge deck replacement bill. Crank Waterproofing is the Orange County deck contractor that repairs decks as well as builds new decks too.
Concrete Decks May Need More Than Crack Repair
If you think you never have to worry about deck repairs because you have a concrete deck, think again. Not only does concrete crack, but concrete relies on other materials such as rebar, beams, and the substrate to provide strength and structure. Just because the concrete looks good doesn’t mean the deck is in perfect shape.
Supporting wood structures require regular sealing and waterproofing to prevent moisture damage and dry rot. Inspecting the full concrete deck by a deck contractor provides peace of mind that your concrete deck or balcony is safe.
Wood decks should drain properly for long deck life
Moisture Damage in Wood Decks
Wood decks require regular maintenance. They need protection from moisture. Even when it doesn’t rain on a regular basis, moisture from humidity or the ocean damages wood. Moisture causes more than rot, it buckles and twists wood too.
Moisture damage creates more than cosmetic problems. It destroys the integrity of your deck. Crank Waterproofing not only repairs and waterproofs decks but also inspects decks to ensure proper drainage. When a deck drains right it prevents moisture damage before it can start. And the proper waterproof coatings make sure your wood deck is water-tight.
When the damage is so extensive that delamination and dry rot occur at the substrate level, the plywood must be removed.
Dry Rot
Dry rot is also caused by moisture. This damage happens when moisture encourages the growth of fungus. The fungus eats the fibers of the wood. So, moisture doesn’t do the damage, it just kick starts the fungus that creates the actual damage. When you have an Orange County deck contractor inspect your wood deck, they check for all types of moisture damage.
