of insect infestation . Termites , carpenter ants and carpenter bees are among the various types of insects that can bore holes through wood . Homeowners who notice holes throughout their deck are urged to call a deck professional and / or pest control firm to assess the holes and offer a solution .

Though small issues may be addressed with repairs , a deck littered with holes caused by insects may need a full replacement .
• Rust : Wood decks may be made of wood , but they can still exhibit signs of rust , namely in the nails and metal connectors that hold the deck together . If screws have rusted to the point where they are no longer holding the deck together , a full-scale replacement could be in the cards , as the deck could have substantial structural damage .
Like other issues that can reveal themselves during a springtime inspection of the deck , rust necessitates a thorough examination by an experienced decking professional .
Many people do not use their decks during winter , which only underscores the significance of a full deck inspection in spring .
