You probably have lots of great memories from the summer. More than a fair share of these memories come from you being on your exterior deck – you might be smiling right now thinking about it!

Your deck will always be there for you and your family, as long as you take care of it. Mold, bad weather, and many other nasty things can jeopardize your exterior deck and leave it unrecognizable.

Fortunately for deck owners everywhere, there’s a way to protect it from harm!

Why should you waterproof your deck?

Simply put, you need to waterproof your deck to protect it from harm.

During the summer, you can enjoy perfect evenings on your deck – but as soon as temperatures drop and heavy clouds start to loom around, that’s when you know you need to add an extra layer of protection to the deck you love.

By waterproofing your deck, you’re protecting it from all sorts of terrible things that can rot and ruin it. You’re not only protecting your deck from impending danger, but you’re also protecting it from constant decay from things like mold – and a molding deck is no good!

What happens if you don’t waterproof your deck?

It’s safe to say your deck will not be safe if you don’t waterproof it. As you know by now, countless things can harm your deck. It might not happen overnight, but the damage will slowly progress!

Humidity, mold, mildew, and many more nasty things are all common enemies of the beautiful exterior deck. And sooner or later they will make an appearance if you don’t protect it. That’s why waterproofing is so important. Otherwise, you’re leaving things up to chance – and when the humidity starts to rise, the odds aren’t in your favor!

What’s the worst thing that could happen if I don’t waterproof my deck?

The thing about your exterior deck is that there is not only one thing that can harm your exterior deck – it can be attacked by all sides! Even though the potential dangers are plenty, the result is always one and the same: a costly repair.

Waterproofing your deck costs little compared to how high the repair expenses can go. If you take preventive action, there’s nothing to worry about, though. Don’t wait until it’s too late!

I’ve already waterproofed my deck before, do I need to do it again?

If it’s been more than one year since you last waterproofed your deck, it might be time to do it again.

When you waterproof your deck, you’re adding a layer of protection that will soon wear down but will leave your deck intact. You need to replace this layer of protection once it has completely worn off – and that often happens after a year.
