Restoring Your Deck for Safety
The harsh winter and spring weather pose a risk to young and old alike, and were not just talking about decks this time! Outdoor porches and decks frequently become covered in heavy snowfall, sustain icy build up or become coated with slippery spring rainfall that makes them unsafe to traverse. The elderly are at an increased risk of suffering a fall during such inclement weather. Slipping and falling can cause fractures or even death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that each year 2.5 million seniors will be rushed to the emergency room after sustaining a fall; one in five of those elderly people will suffer from a serious fracture that may become life threatening.
If you worry about slipping on your deck or porch, then you might want to consider restoring your deck. After the wet winter and spring weather, it is not uncommon for unsightly mold and mildew to build up on a deck’s surface. Mold and mildew are not only visually unsightly, but the buildup of microorganisms also creates a slippery, unsafe walking surface. A deck cleaning crew from DeckMAX can clean and restore any deck to a pristine appearance by removing the slippery mold and mildew buildup.
