A deck is a wonderful addition to any Georgia home. It provides a space for relaxation, entertainment, and outdoor activities. However, decks can become unlevel over time due to various factors like soil erosion, weathering, and usage. An unlevel deck can pose a serious safety hazard and decrease your home’s overall value and aesthetic appeal.
Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs in Marietta, GA, provides experienced Deck Post Repair to fix sagging posts, sinking, and unlevel supports. Here is a bit more about what is involved.
What is Deck Leveling?
Deck leveling is the process of adjusting the height of an uneven deck to make it level. A level deck ensures that weight is distributed evenly, preventing any potential accidents or damage. Professional deck leveling from Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs involves using specialized equipment and expertise to ensure that the deck is level and safe for use.
The safety of your family and guests is the primary reason why deck leveling is important. An unlevel deck can cause serious accidents, especially if it’s located high off the ground. A level deck also prevents any potential damage to the structure of your home.
In addition to safety, a level deck provides a more comfortable and enjoyable space for you and your family to enjoy. An unlevel deck can be uncomfortable to walk on, making it difficult to use for any activities. A level deck also increases your home’s overall value and aesthetic appeal, making it a more attractive place to live.
What is the Deck Leveling Process?
Professional deck leveling involves several steps to ensure that the deck is level and safe for use. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Inspection: Anglin’s deck leveling specialists inspect the deck to identify uneven or settled areas and check for damage or structural issues.
- Clearance: The area underneath the deck is cleared of debris or obstacles to ensure the equipment can be used safely.
- Lift: Hydraulic jacks are used to lift the deck to the desired height. The jacks are placed strategically to ensure that the weight is distributed evenly.
- Adjustment: Once the deck is lifted, shims or other materials are used to adjust the height of any uneven areas until the deck is level.
- Support: To ensure that the deck remains level and stable, additional support may be added, such as new posts, beams or footings.
- Final Inspection: After the leveling process is complete, our specialists perform a final inspection to ensure that the deck is safe and level.
