As summer wanes and autumn approaches, it’s an ideal time to consider home improvements that will enhance your outdoor living spaces. The installation of an underdeck drainage system is a key consideration to protect your deck’s substructure while delivering double the outdoor living and recreational space.
Here are just three compelling reasons to install an underdeck drainage system before fall weather hits:
- Protect Your Deck – and Home – from Water Damage
In various parts of the country, autumn is synonymous with increased rainfall, which can cause significant damage to your deck’s substructure – and the space below. An underdeck drainage system like DEK Drain® effectively channels water away from your deck, preventing moisture accumulation that can lead to wood rot, mold, and mildew. By installing an underdeck drainage system before fall, you ensure that your deck remains dry and structurally sound, protecting your investment and extending the life of your deck.
- Extend Your Outdoor Living Season (and Space!)
With cooler weather on the horizon, having a dry, fully functional space beneath your deck becomes an invaluable asset. An underdeck drainage system from DEK Drain® creates a usable, dry area that can be transformed into an outdoor living space of virtually limitless possibilities, perfect for hosting fall gatherings or simply enjoying the crisp autumn air. This added living space can be outfitted with comfortable seating, outdoor heaters, and even entertainment systems, making it an inviting retreat regardless of the weather.
- Reduce Maintenance and Improve Aesthetics
Leaves and debris can accumulate on your deck as fall progresses, leading to essential maintenance that is nonetheless time-consuming and monotonous. An underdeck drainage system can help to make sure the moisture from wet leaves is effectively diverted, keeping the space below your deck clean and dry.
