Decks pulling houses?
Decks pull houses yearly. Ledgers rot unflashed.
1. The problem
Attached-deck owners risk ledger rot yearly. Flashing skipped builders rushed. Water rots rim joists. Collapses injure summers. The hardest part is layered flashing fast. A deck might hang nails only. That uncertainty makes it hard to attach safe.
“Risking yearly rushed here. I need layer guides with bolt flows.”
2. What exists
Code books, flashing tapes and pros flash ledgers, while rotting persists yearly. Tapes confuse layering. Pros charge decks. There is little help with layer guides plus bolt flows for builders.
3. The solution
The solution could be a attach-safe engine. It could layer flashing simply correct. It could bolt through wisely structural. Inspections could verify attachments. The goal would be safe decks, solid houses.
