When leaves accumulate on your deck, they trap moisture underneath, creating the perfect environment for mold, mildew, and wood rot. Over time, this can lead to significant structural damage, weakening your deck boards and causing discoloration.
Regularly sweeping off leaves not only preserves the wood but also helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space.
Additionally, wet leaves can become slippery, posing a safety hazard, especially in high-traffic areas. By removing them promptly, you reduce the risk of accidents and keep your deck looking clean and inviting.
A clean deck also makes fall preparations like staining and sealing more effective, ensuring long-lasting protection against the elements. At Deck Rescue, we recommend a combination of professional cleaning and maintenance services to protect your deck through every season.
