Dry Most of the Year, and Ember Exposure to Match

Yorba Linda receives roughly 14 to 15 inches of rain in an average year. Owners often take that as reassurance, and it is the opposite. Long dry stretches under sun cycle a deck surface daily and open up its edges and penetrations, and when a year's worth of rain arrives across a handful of storms it goes straight into everything that opened up.

In November 2008 fires in eastern Yorba Linda destroyed 113 homes and damaged 50 more, with the destruction driven largely by erratic winds carrying embers up to a mile away. That history matters for exterior material choices, because a deck is a horizontal surface where embers land and collect, and what it is built from is part of the answer.

Around 83 percent of the 23,685 housing units here are owner occupied, 97.5 percent of the stock is occupied, and this is overwhelmingly homeowner work on property people intend to hold. Large lots mean large decks: structures that wrap the back of a house, long stair runs to a yard, balconies over living space.

More perimeter means more places for a surface to end, and a waterproof surface almost always fails where it ends. The edge metal, the wall junction, the base of every post, the flange around a drain and the sill under a door are the five details that decide whether a deck lasts, and they are the five that get rushed on a cheap job.

Where a deck collects debris, it also collects water. Leaves in a corner hold moisture against the surface for weeks after a storm and pack into drains and scuppers before the rain even arrives. Keeping the outlets clear and the corners swept does more for a deck here than any product does.

Waterproofing in Yorba Linda: Your Questions

We get so little rain. Why is my deck failing?

The dry months do the damage. Sun and daily thermal movement work the coating loose at the edges, posts and wall line over the whole year, and then 14 to 15 inches of rain arriving in a few storms loads all of it at once.

Does fire history affect what goes on a deck?

It affects the material conversation. The 2008 fires in eastern Yorba Linda destroyed 113 homes with embers carried up to a mile by erratic winds, and a deck is a horizontal surface where embers land.

What maintenance actually helps between repairs?

Keep the outlets clear and the corners swept. Debris in a scupper or a drain bowl turns a sloped deck into a shallow pond in the first storm, and leaves packed into a corner hold moisture against the surface for weeks.
