How Safe Is Your Deck From the Lakeshore Environment?

Every homeowner needs to pressure wash their deck annually, but it's crucial for people who live near big lakes and wooded areas. Your deck is especially vulnerable to structural damage in these areas. Not only that, but decks also get slippery and become a hazard when growth is unattended on them.

Algae and Water Damage

Decks on the Michigan Lakeshore are susceptible to erosion, water damage, and algae growth. Leaves, snow, and rain encourage algae growth. It collects in grooves and cracks; the moisture can lead to wood rot and structural damage.

Simply painting over the algae isn't enough. The living spores will continue to grow. On the other hand, a deck restoration can effectively remove algae, mold, moss, mildew, dirt, and grime.

Wood is especially susceptible to water damage, but stone and tile are porous, so they aren't safe. Water damage leads to swelling, and when the sun dries the material, it will crack. In time, cracks in wood fibers can lead to structural collapse.
