Is Deck Repair Necessary?

A damaged or rotten old deck not only looks bad on the surface but can also be a hidden safety hazard, especially if the supporting structure or subfloor has been compromised. The subfloor holds all the weight, and it's not uncommon to hear of compromised decks collapsing with people on them, causing injury in the process.

Deck balustrading and stairs can also be dangerous and potentially cave in if they are in poor condition and sudden extra weight is added.

Decks may need repairing for various reasons, such as fire, storm, or flood damage, poor or illegal workmanship causing structural problems with sunken foundations, supporting beams, and joists.

How to Spot the Warning Signs

Other than spotting any obvious visual damage, it's not uncommon for a registered builder or building inspection report to be the first to pick up unseen structural problems with decks.

Homeowners can usually tell something isn't right when the stairs or decking boards crack, bounce, or are spongy when walked on. Other signs are discoloured timber, visual insect or termite activity, obvious wood rot, wobbly balustrading, posts or handrails, or a noticeable lean in part of the structure.

It's always a good idea to do a half-yearly inspection yourself or after any major weather event, such as a flood or storm. Checking the main items mentioned above and identifying the warning signs can prevent major, expensive repairs and accidents in the future.

Repair or Replace

If the existing deck is structurally sound and in relatively good condition, and the required repairs are minor, then it makes sense to move ahead and get the problems fixed immediately.

In some cases, the deck may be in such poor condition that it may not be worth the investment of time and money to fix it, and it's a better idea to think about a full replacement.

As experienced deck builders, we can help arrange a knockdown and full rebuild of the deck exactly as you want.

Replacing a deck ensures compliance with all modern safety standards and will improve the functionality and visual appeal of what was there before, adding real value to your property.
