Summer’s just getting started—and your deck (and house) are about to become the backdrop for some of the season’s best memories. From backyard barbecues and golden-hour hangouts to barefoot dance parties and early morning coffee, it’s where life unfolds.

It’s more than lumber and bricks. It’s where life happens and happy memories are made. 

At Sherrill Structural Repair, we know how important those spaces are. But before the grill heats up and the guests arrive, it’s worth taking a look beneath the surface. Because while your deck or home may look summer-ready, hidden structural issues—like sagging floors, settling supports, or shifting piers—could be quietly compromising your space. 

 

Safety Starts Below the Surface 

Your home is more than walls and windows — it’s where milestones are celebrated, kids play, and friends gather on the deck. But even the most beautiful homes and decks can silently suffer from hidden structural issues that compromise safety and peace of mind. 

So, what should you be looking for? Here are some common signs that your home or deck may need structural attention: 

 

1. Settled Supports: Whether under your deck or beneath your home’s foundation, unevenly settled supports can lead to visible tilting, sagging floors, or shifting doorways. It's more than an eyesore — it's a warning sign.

• 2. Sagging Floors: From cozy sunrooms to expansive wraparound porches, sagging flooring often signals deeper problems in the joists or foundation. Left unchecked, these issues can worsen and impact the structural integrity of your home and its attachments.
  
  
• 3. Broken or Poorly Constructed CMU Piers: Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) piers are often used under decks — but they’re also common in crawlspace foundations. Cracks, instability, or sloppy construction can cause trouble from the ground up.
  
  
• 4. Failing Girders & Structural Supports: Decks and homes alike rely on girders, beams, and framing systems for strength and balance. When these elements weaken, your entire structure becomes vulnerable.
