Set up a supportive base to build your summer memories on! 

The warm months are the perfect time to enjoy your deck with family and friends, but that fun can’t be had if the structure supporting you isn't solid. This is an area many people don’t think about, at least beyond the fact that it is dark, damp and a little scary.  

But the experts here at Quarve Contracting want to demystify the underdeck. We are a remodeling company that has been providing customers with top-rated service for over 40 years and are ready to help you create the summer memories you want, starting by explaining what underdecking is.  

What is underdecking? 

Put in simple terms, the undertaking is a modular drainage system that goes under your deck in order to push water away from the ground beneath your deck. But why is this important? 

When water built up goes unchecked for a long period of time, the area underneath your deck will become muddy, weakened and downright dirty. But even more, with a solution that allows you to control water flow, you can create usable space under your deck to store things like garden materials.  

What are the benefits? 

1 - A more enjoyable patio: Even on top of the patio, you won't have mosquitos breeding up from underneath the surface. 

2 - Prevent mold and mildew: Especially for those with breathing issues, preventing the growth of mold and mildew is crucial. 

3 - Increased home value: With usable space under your deck, the value of your home will increase significantly.
