Deck Drainage Solutions

Over the past few years, I have been paying attention to Under Deck Drainage System, Underdeck Roof or Underdeck Drainage Ceilings, whatever you call it. Most popular name is Under Deck Drainage System. A few new companies have patented new products.

Each company has different yet similar products installed in three separate methods.  Method one is installation on a series of slope drops called stringers. For underdeck drainage systems, stringers are used for a single plane ceiling to create a slight slope for underdeck rain water to drain into a gutter to be expelled through downspouts, just like the gutters at your roof. Depending on you particular project more than one slope and gutter may need to be used creatively. Can ceiling fans iconbe installed in this deck drainage method? Yes. Recessed lighting icon in this under deck ceiling? Not recommended unless they are certain not to be exposed to under deck rain water. Electrical applications in these under deck drainage systems can get complicated and must be sealed properly to prevent exposure to water. If you don’t want any added lightingicon, but maybe a ceiling fans iconor two in this type of underdeck drainage system, then this method is a good choice underdeck drainage system.

Method two is a series of deck drainage pans and separate troughs. The pans are either convex or concave and installed between the joists. Separate troughs are then installed over each joist. The major drawback to this method is that joists must be spaced evenly across the entire span of the deck to look right. Otherwise, additional time and materials may be needed to accommodate this method of deck drainage installation. Method three is a rubber membrane installed above the joists below the deck boards. If you plan to replace decking or are building a new deck, I highly recommend this method. You can have any kind of ceiling, even wood, that you want and add any electrical wiring and recessed lighting iconknowing that there is no chance of being exposed to rain water. 

Whether you want swings, outdoor ceiling fansrecessed lighting or outdoor audio, it can be done and must be done properly by qualified professionals.
