This weekend, a Marietta, GA deck collapsed sending 2 people to the hospital. Since 2003, there have been thousands of reported injuries and more than 20 deaths as the result of deck collapses. The American Society of Home Inspectors recommends checking your deck at least once a year for these warning signs of impending issues:
-Loose connections (for example, a wobbly railing)
-Missing connections (for example, the deck is just nailed to the side of the house)
-Corrosion (such as red rust)
-Rot and large cracks
