Fixing a Trip Hazard — and Preventing Future Damage
This client contacted us about a walkway deck where water was consistently pooling due to a poorly placed downspout. The moisture caused wood damage over time, and the area became a real trip hazard.
We removed the failing section, addressed the water diversion issue, and rebuilt the decking with proper spacing, support, and slope to guide water away safely. The result is a safer, longer-lasting entry area that protects both the structure and the people using it.
Scope of Work
Identified and redirected downspout to improve drainage
Removed damaged decking boards and supporting joists
Corrected sloping to encourage proper water flow
Rebuilt the deck section with pressure-treated lumber
Installed new fasteners and trim for clean finish
Inspected adjacent framing and reinforced weak points
Cleaned up site and ensured no standing water post-completion
Estimated Labor Range
This was a mid-sized outdoor repair project focused on function and durability.
Estimated Labor Cost: $10,000 – $20,000
Final labor covered demo, slope correction, rebuild, water redirection, and all finish work.
Gutter and downspout hardware was reused and modified.
Timeline
Duration: 1–2 weeks
