WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A DECK INSPECTION

A deck inspection is an important step in the process of building or replacing a deck. It ensures that the deck meets safety standards and is built to code.

During a deck inspection, an inspector inspects the:

Footing
Flashing details
Soil under the deck
The ledger board
Beams
Fasteners

Framing
Base sizes
Structural supports
Joists
Guardrails
Stairs

Framing
Base sizes
Structural supports
Joists
Guardrails
Stairs

Your inspector carefully examines each component carefully to determine the overall condition of the deck. They are especially searching for issues such as wood rot, wood decay, insect damage, structural defects, and corroded fasteners. These problems can be major safety concerns and need to be identified and addressed in order to ensure your safety or the safety of your building’s occupants.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE VCI BUILDS

When it comes to deck inspections, VCI Builds is the top choice. As a certified inspector and builder, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive, reliable inspections that meet all state and local requirements. We understand how important it is for your deck to be built safely and up to code, which is why we use the latest technology and industry standards to perform our inspections.

Additionally, we are a licensed general contractor and take the responsibility of inspecting seriously, so you can trust that any repairs identified in an inspection report will be done right. Furthermore, the California SB-721 includes requirements that if repairs are needed as a result of an inspection, then the inspecting contractor cannot perform the repairs – a requirement that VCI Builds adheres to.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE A DECK INSPECTION?

Regular deck inspections are essential for ensuring the safety of your deck and those who use it. Depending on the age and condition of your deck, as well as any changes or additions that have been made to it, experts recommend having your deck inspected at least once a year. This can help identify any potential issues before they become serious problems and give you peace of mind knowing your deck is safe for everyone to enjoy.

If a deck is found to have certain structural deficiencies, more frequent inspections may be required – always consult with an expert before making any decisions about how often you should inspect your deck.Call the Orange County Desk Inspectors at VCI Builds to learn more!
