Title: Signs That Your Deck Needs Repair

Signs That Your Deck Needs Repair
2
  • Common deck repair in Toronto includes replacing
    loose railings or broken floors, removing rusted
    nails, and retightening screws.

Warning Signs
The wooden pillars and rafters began to rot
Observe the erosion around the pillars
The shoes are rising or falling
Deck is cracked or chipped
The guide rail is loose

1. The wooden pillars and rafters began to rot. 
  • Current building codes stipulate that contractors
    must build decks on concrete foundations, but
    your pillars can be placed directly on the ground
    if your deck is older.

2. The shoes are rising or falling. 
  • Concrete feet can undoubtedly improve the
    long-term structural integrity of the deck, but
    in some cases, they may not be perfect. If the
    original deck shoes are poured into soil that has
    moved significantly over time or is initially
    unstable, the concrete may crack or fall off.

3. Observe the erosion around the pillars. 
  • Both wooden and concrete deck shoes are
    susceptible to erosion. Soil erosion occurs when
    rainwater and melted snow wash away the soil
    supporting the deck pillars and foundations.

4. Deck is cracked or chipped
  • A cracked or chipped deck plate is generally not
    of immediate concern a deck builder in
    Toronto can easily replace one or two plates.

5. The guide rail is loose
  • Loose platform railings are a severe safety
    hazard. Your deck is unlikely to collapse
    completely, but loose railings are an undeniable
    sign that the deck needs to be taken care of as
    soon as possible.
