Q: Do I need to install footings under my floating deck?

• <div><p>In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck&rsquo;s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground. </p></div>

Q: Can you add an under-deck drainage system to an existing deck?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to add an under-deck drainage system to an existing deck by retrofitting it to the structure. This process may require some prep work. For example, many drainage systems are installed on top of the deck joists, which would require you to remove the decking boards and railings first. To avoid this, you could opt for a below-the-joist drainage system. For best results and to ensure proper installation, it is recommended to consult a professional. A pro can inspect your deck, make any necessary repairs, and then install the drainage system correctly.</p></div>

Q: How does a new deck or porch affect home value?

• <div><p>Increases livable area and enhances aesthetic, often boosting property appeal.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for composite decking to warp?

• <div><p>Composite decking may never warp, or it may warp quickly. Several factors can influence the rate of warping, including the material's quality, installation method, and installation location. Generally speaking, high-quality materials that have been installed properly are drastically less prone to warping. </p></div>
