Deck inspections are crucial for ensuring the safety and stability of your outdoor living space. They should be conducted annually, or more often if you live in an area with harsh weather conditions. A professional deck inspection can identify potential problems before they become serious, helping to prevent costly repairs and accidents. What to Expect During a Deck Inspection Our professional deck inspector will typically perform a visual inspection of all deck components, including:
The deck ledger, which is the beam that attaches the deck to the house
The deck framing, which includes the joists, beams, and posts
The decking material, such as wood, composite, or vinyl
The railings and balusters
The flashing, which helps to prevent water infiltration
Our inspector will also check for signs of wear and tear, such as rot, cracks, loose fasteners, and water damage. They will also make sure that the deck is properly flashed and sealed to prevent water from seeping into the wood.
