Why Are Inspections So Important?:
Regular inspections allow you to examine and keep an eye on the vital parts of your deck to avoid injuries. Every year, there are lots of injuries relating to decks recorded in the United States. The main culprits are deck collapses and defects with deck stairs and railings. Experts have even estimated that two-out-of-five decks in the U.S. have issues with their safety.
However, not everyone has seen the danger of poor deck conditions. You may want to sell your house, but because you didn’t pay much attention to the importance of an inspection, you will later on realize that the structure of your deck is too risky and may fail an inspection. Later on, more problems might arise because of negligence.

What To Look for:
Below are the things to pay attention to when checking your deck:
There should be no lag screws in the ledger board.
Check if there are missing nails on the joist hangers. Check all the fasteners, bolts, joist hangers, or anything else for rust and corrosion.
Rotten or compromised deck posts. Check support posts and rotten beams. There should be no slitting or abnormal movement.
Make sure there are no unsafe or shaking parts. Check all of the rails and guards to ensure they are secured and sturdy.
Ensure that there’s no missing flashing on the deck ledger board.
Check for cracked and rotted stair stringers or any thread movement.
Look for damage caused by grills, heaters, and outdoor fire pits.
