Spring is a time for renewal, but it’s also a time when heavy rains are regularly in the forecast; rains that can wreak havoc on your deck’s substructure.
Moisture from spring showers often seeps into beams and joists, causing rot, mildew, and long-term damage. The good news? You can prevent these issues with DEK Drain®, the industry’s leading under-deck drainage system. Designed to protect your deck investment, DEK Drain® ensures your deck stays strong and functional for years to come—rain or shine.
The Risks of Spring Showers
Spring rains are more than just a minor inconvenience. Without proper protection, water accumulates on the deck’s surface and drips below, leading to:
- Wood Rot: Moisture compromises the structural integrity of beams and joists, causing them to weaken over time.
- Mildew and Mold Growth: Damp conditions beneath your deck provide the perfect conditions for harmful mold and mildew.
- Costly Repairs: Neglected water damage frequently leads to expensive repairs—and possibly replacement.
How DEK Drain Protects Your Deck Investment
- Comprehensive Moisture Protection: DEK Drain’s innovative design channels rainwater away from the deck’s substructure, keeping beams and joists dry to prevent rot and decay.
- Durable, Flexible Materials: Unlike plastic systems that can crack or fail over time, DEK Drain® uses a durable rubber membrane that remains effective through all seasons—even during fluctuating temperatures.
- Easy Installation, Long-Lasting Results: Whether you’re building a new deck or retrofitting an existing one, DEK Drain’s simple installation process offers long-term protection against moisture damage.
