In the lush climate of the Pacific Northwest, the wooden structures of decks and stairs are particularly susceptible to moisture-induced issues such as rot and mold, which can undermine their strength and safety. Similarly, the stability of concrete footings can be compromised over time due to soil erosion and freeze-thaw cycles, leading to uneven or sinking supports that threaten the deck’s integrity.
- Discoloration or staining indicative of water damage or fungal growth.
- Cracks in the wood or concrete, signaling structural stress or age.
- Loose or missing fasteners, which can affect the stability of the structure.
- Peeling paint or sealant, suggesting exposure damage and the need for reapplication.
- Visible sagging or warping of boards, which can lead to uneven surfaces and tripping hazards.
- Railings that move upon touch, indicating weakened connections or deterioration.
