Is your wood deck beginning to rot?

If you have a wood deck, there are some common areas where you can detect early signs of wood rot. One of those places is the end of the deck board. Usually this can be as simple as looking at the boards.

Here is an example.

Tom, Something I've had to do some repair pieces on here and there on our deck.  It's about 25 years old, and despite staining periodically, some pieces are ready to be pulled and replaced.  Another summer project if real estate business allows the time!

Yes, sometimes it is super easy to spot.  I think the key is looking...and most people don't.

Tom,

Too many take for granted that power washing, treating and staining will keep it forever.....not the case.

I'd love to fix this soon Roger. Many people just need to be shown that a problem exists and given their options.

That sounds like you've been down this road before Bliz. You can always hire a professional, when things get too busy.  :)

Like so many things, we just need to pay attention to our surrounding. Thanks Debbie.

Nope, but that does help.

Wood will decay, we can only delay or slow it down. 

There is a direct correlation between our effort and the number of years the wood will last.

Thanks Dan.

I recall one particular home I sold.  The termite company came up without a single finding on the house.  But the many square feet of decking surrounding the back of the home was a mess.  Interestingly, from the surface you couldn't really tell, because the seller had sanded and stained.  But the posts and underside was where damage was quite evident.  Always get those decks inspected, if you plan on keeping them.

So true Myrl. Many times the decking is excluded from the termite report. I would question those decks. If you have a deck that has been excluded from the report, assume that it is a mess!

Thanks for the comment today!
