How do you handle drainage when extending a patio under a deck?

Proper drainage is essential when extending a patio under a deck to prevent water accumulation and maintain a dry, usable space. Solutions may include grading the area to direct water away from the house, installing French drains or other drainage channels, and using under-deck drainage systems to divert rainwater. Permeable pavers or materials can also help improve drainage and reduce runoff.

A site assessment is recommended to determine the best solution based on your unique property conditions.
