Why decks fail · the 5 failure modes

Your existing deck failed for one of these five reasons. The replacement is engineered to defeat all five.

Water intrusion
Cause
Sub-deck moisture · capillary action · waterline failures · pool chemistry attack
YBMT fix
YBMT engineered drainage + 2-stage waterproof membrane + sealed expansion joints. Defeated.
Substrate movement
Cause
Soil settlement · slab cracking · differential heave in reactive SEQ clay
YBMT fix
YBMT pier-and-beam structural sub-frame · independent of slab · settles with the slab not against it. Defeated.
UV degradation
Cause
Sun bleaching · resin breakdown · spotted-gum greying in 4 years
YBMT fix
YBMT 7-year finish warranty with annual recoat scheduled in the maintenance contract. Defeated.
Slip rating decline
Cause
AS 4586 R-rating drops below R10 over 3-5 years · wet-foot slip events
YBMT fix
YBMT spec R11 minimum at install · re-tested at year 3 and year 7 · re-finished free if rating drops. Defeated.
Joint failure
Cause
Fixing pull-out · timber-to-substrate de-bonding · pergola post rot
YBMT fix
316 stainless fixings to engineered spec · timber-to-substrate via DPC + flashing · post-saddle isolation. Defeated.
The 25-year + 7-year guarantee

A warranty made tangible. Not a marketing claim — a contract clause.

25 yrs
Structural

Substrate · sub-frame · pier-and-beam · fixings · drainage

Anything below the deck boards. If the structure fails for any reason within 25 years, we rebuild the structural sub-system at our cost.

Conditions: annual visual inspection (free) · drainage clear · no chemical attack from undeclared pool treatment
7 yrs
Finish

Deck boards · finish · slip-rating · UV grade

The visible wear surface. We re-sand and re-coat at year 4 (included). If slip rating drops below R10 inside 7 years, we re-finish at our cost.

Conditions: annual slip-test at year 3 and 7 · the maintenance contract covers it
