 A homeowner in Southwest Edmonton reached out after noticing standing water on their deck following rainfall. The issue traced back to improper construction by a previous contractor—the deck was sloped toward the home rather than away from it. Decks of Distinction was called in to assess the problem and implement a permanent solution.

Challenge

The negative slope caused water to collect near the foundation, threatening both the deck’s integrity and the home’s structure. The homeowner needed a reliable fix completed quickly to prevent further damage.

Solution

Our experienced team developed a corrective plan to raise and re-level the deck, ensuring proper water drainage. We calculated the precise grade needed to divert water safely away from the house without compromising deck stability or aesthetics.

Execution

The Decks of Distinction crew completed the entire correction in just one day. The deck was carefully lifted, adjusted, and secured with improved support placement. The result was a properly graded structure that functions—and looks—exactly as it should.

Outcome

With the slope corrected, the deck now drains efficiently, protecting the home and extending the deck’s lifespan. The homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their investment was properly restored by professionals who value precision and craftsmanship.
