Hi everyone, just wanted to share a quick maintenance tip for homeowners with wooden decks or fences.
A simple way to check if your wood is protected is the "Water Test." Pour a cup of water on your deck. If it beads up, you are good. If it soaks in immediately and darkens the wood, your seal is gone, and rot can start setting in.
In Illinois weather, regular Wood Staining and Resealing is the only way to prevent expensive damage. Don't wait until the wood cracks! If anyone in Grayslake needs help with this, feel free to check our work or ask me questions here.
