Imagine transforming the overlooked space under your deck into a dry, cozy entertainment area without worrying about water ruining your investment. Raintight Decks has the solution - our Under Deck System! Not only does it expand liveable outdoor space, but it also significantly wards off water damage to your home structure. Learn how our under deck system can be your next line of defense against Mother Nature's unpredictability and upgrade to your outdoor living environment. From increasing property value to reinforcing resilience against the elements, let's look into its remarkable benefits.
RainTight's under deck system provides a protective barrier between your deck and the space underneath, which helps prevent water leakage towards the foundation and protects against moisture-related issues such as mold, mildew, and erosion. By properly channeling rainwater away from the deck and foundation, our under deck system helps maintain the integrity of your home's structure. It minimizes potential damage caused by water infiltration.
Benefits of Installing an Under Deck System
Installing an under deck system provides numerous advantages beyond creating additional usable space. Some key benefits include:
Protection from Rain
One of the primary purposes of underdecking is to shield the area below from rainwater. By preventing water from penetrating the deck above, you can enjoy outdoor activities and keep furniture, flooring, and other belongings dry.
Preventing Moisture Damage
Excess moisture can lead to various issues, including mold, mildew, and rot. An under deck system helps divert water away from your home's foundation, preventing potential damage caused by soil erosion and water seepage.
Expanded Living Space
Under deck systems allow you to maximize the functionality of your outdoor area by providing a waterproof space that can be used for various purposes. You can create an outdoor kitchen, a cozy seating area, or a play area for children.
Lower Maintenance
Underdecking typically requires minimal maintenance. Aluminum panels, in particular, allow small debris to be washed away with heavy rain, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
Increased Property Value
Adding an under deck system not only enhances your living experience but can also increase the value of your home. It provides additional functional space at a lower cost than traditional home additions.
Year-round Enjoyment
With an under deck system in place, you can enjoy the benefits of outdoor living throughout the year, regardless of the weather conditions. You can install lighting, ceiling fans, heaters, and other amenities to create a comfortable indoor-outdoor space to be enjoyed year-round.
By taking advantage of these benefits, you can protect your home from potential water damage while creating an enjoyable and functional space beneath your deck.
Shielding Your Home: How Under Deck Systems Work
Under deck systems play a crucial role in shielding your home from water damage by creating a protective barrier between your deck's surface and the area beneath it. These systems are designed to channel rainwater away from your deck and direct it towards designated drainage points, preventing water from seeping into your home's foundation or causing structural damage.
Imagine a heavy rainstorm hitting the Camdenton area. Without an under deck system, the rainwater would soak through the gaps in your deck boards and essentially become trapped on the surface, slowly dripping onto the space below. Over time, this persistent moisture can lead to mold growth, decay of wooden structures, and even compromise the stability of your deck. An under deck system mitigates these issues by effectively capturing and redirecting rainwater away from your deck. By keeping the space beneath your deck dry, you not only protect its structural integrity but also create a valuable additional outdoor living area.
- According to a study published in the Journal of Construction and Building Materials, correctly installed under deck drainage systems can reduce moisture-related damage by up to 50%.
- The American Society of Home Inspectors reports that water intrusion (which can be mitigated by under-decking) contributes to approximately 20% of all residential insurance claims.
- A research paper presented at the International Conference on Building Envelope Systems and Technologies (ICBEST) states that homes employing under-deck systems showed a noticeable decrease in foundational erosion—approximately 30% less compared to houses without any such system.
