Warning signs include visible cracks, excessive wear, loose boards or railings, and noticeable bounce or spring in the decking when you walk on it. Any of these issues require immediate professional deck inspection for safety before continued use.
If railings move when you lean on them or stairs feel unstable, stop using the deck until it’s professionally inspected. These are serious safety hazards that can lead to injuries, especially with children or elderly family members using the space.
We provide comprehensive deck inspection for safety that identifies both obvious problems and hidden structural issues. This includes checking all the connections, examining the condition of posts and joists, and testing the overall stability of the structure. You get a complete picture of your deck’s condition and a prioritized list of what needs attention to keep your family safe.
