Deck Repair Services for Your Home
At GotRot, customer care is a top priority. We don’t just focus on repairs—we focus on building lasting relationships.
Our goal is not only to repair your deck but also to leave you confident that your home is in good hands.
Whether you end up repairing or replacing a deck depends on several factors, such as the age and material of your deck, the extent and location of the rotted damage, and your budget and preferences. When it comes to older decks, if the cost of Washington deck repair is more than half the cost of a deck replacement, replacing the deck may be your best option.
However, if the damage is minor or cosmetic, such as splintering, fading, or small cracks, you may be able to repair it by hiring a professional from GotRot in Washington to do it for you. Let us stop by your house and have a look. We may be able to offer different options to bring your deck back to life.
What Are Some Common Reasons Why Deck Wood Goes Bad?
Some common reasons why deck wood goes bad are:
This is caused by microscopic organisms like mold and fungus that feed on the wood and break down its fibers. Dry rot and decay can be prevented by using rot-resistant lumber, pressure-treated wood, or protective stains. Rot and decay can also be avoided by keeping the wood decks dry and well-ventilated.
Rot and Decay
Insect Damage
This is caused by wood-eating insects like termites and ants that bore into the wood and weaken its structure. Insect damage can be prevented by using insect-resistant lumber, pressure-treated wood, or insecticides. It can also be detected by looking for small holes or sawdust on the wood surface. When termites grab hold of your deck, the only option may be a total deck replacement.
Rusting
This is caused by metal fasteners, connectors, or joists that corrode due to moisture and oxygen exposure. Rusting can compromise the structural integrity and stability of the decking materials. Rusting can be prevented by using galvanized or stainless-steel hardware or by applying an anti-rust fresh coat on the decking material. Rusting can also be detected by looking for reddish-brown stains or flakes on the metal parts.
Cracking
Cracking is caused by wood drying too quickly or unevenly, exposure to extreme temperatures or sunlight, or dry rot. Damaged boards with popped nails can reduce the wood’s aesthetic appeal and durability. Cracking can be prevented by using kiln-dried wood, applying protective stains, or avoiding direct sunlight. Cracking can also be repaired by filling the cracks with wood filler or epoxy.
Warping
Warping is caused by the wood bending or twisting out of shape due to differences in moisture content, grain direction, or growth stresses. Warping can appear when there is a nearby leak dripping water onto the wood. Warping can make the deck uneven and unstable. Warping can be prevented by using straight-grained wood, applying protective stains, or installing proper bracing and fastening. Warping can also be corrected by replacing the warped boards or applying pressure to straighten them. A well-maintained deck in your outdoor space will be more resistant to warping.
The Benefits of Having a Waterproof Deck
Waterproofing a deck involves cleaning, repairing, sanding, and applying a sealant to the wood surface. This can help protect the deck from water damage, mold, rot, and weathering and improve its appearance, durability, and safety. Depending on the weather and the condition of the wood, you should waterproof your deck every one to three years.
