A deck installation, whether constructed of wood or composites, necessitates care. It is prone to both evident and inconspicuous wear and tear, which is compounded by the constant exposure to weather. The deck material may rot or suffer water damage, insect infestation, or just discolor from UV light depending on the local temperature. While some damage is entirely cosmetic, others may cause injury to those using the deck or patio. Red River Handyman can help with all of your deck and patio repairs, regardless of what the issue is or what caused the issue. Call us today to schedule your free consultation and repair quote. There's no obligation and we're ready to help now! Do you require deck maintenance? Let's look at some of the most prevalent reasons for deck repair. |

Leaning Decks
A deck will shift significantly over time when the major support members settle into the ground or just age and weaken. Although minor settling may not be significant, uneven or severe settling can cause tensions between the primary structural support components. These forces may eventually cause the deck to fail and collapse.
An uneven deck, a sloping deck, or an unstable deck might all be signs of settlement.

Insect Damage
In some circumstances, insects and beetles can attack unprotected or inadequately treated wood. Wood borer, woodworm, ants, and termites are examples of these. Items that have been damaged must be replaced, and if bug damage has occurred, the insect infestation must be handled.
Weather Related Damage
Weather certainly has a significant impact on decks. Scuffing, discolouration, and rotting are common concerns caused by foot and wind-blown sand and soil, mosses, and other pests that rip away the surface of the wood. After a while, the planks decay and splinters form. This is the beginning of a vicious spiral because splintering creates a coarser surface that is even more difficult to clean correctly. And your deck becomes a magnet for undesirable dirt and plants. As a result, the deck is moist and filthy.
Another prevalent weather-related issue is water damage. If the feet of the support members are in water on a frequent or long-term basis, or puddles form on the deck, the wood is prone to rot and collapse. It is necessary to repair or replace the item.
Decks are also affected by discoloration. The effects of weather on your deck might cause fading of the deck surfaces over time. To maintain uniformity, you may need to re-stain and re-seal the entire deck.
