You built a nice deck upstairs. Great. But what about that muddy mess underneath? Right now it’s probably collecting leaves, staying soggy after every rain, and serving as a dumping ground for junk you don’t know where else to put.
A DrySpace system changes that. We install drainage beneath your deck that channels water away, leaving you with dry, usable space. Now you can store stuff without it getting ruined. Set up outdoor furniture that stays dry. Maybe even put in a hot tub.
We handle these installations throughout Ann Arbor. Turn your wasted under-deck area into space that actually works for you.
Picture a ceiling under your deck that catches rain and snow melt, then funnels it away through gutters. That’s basically what we install. The system goes between your deck joists and creates a waterproof barrier above whatever’s below.
You end up with a covered area that stays dry year-round. No more puddles. No more soggy ground. No more avoiding that space because it’s always wet.
Set up furniture, a grill, maybe a TV. You’ve got a covered patio that’s protected from rain.
Bikes, lawn equipment, pool supplies—stuff that needs to be outside but not getting rained on.
Sounds fancy, but lots of our customers do this. The space stays dry and private.
Water sitting under your deck causes problems over time. A drainage system protects your investment.
Second-story decks leave lots of space underneath.
Common in Ann Arbor. The space below your deck could be an extension of your lower level living area.
Water runs downhill. If your deck sits on a slope, you probably have drainage issues already.
You need somewhere to put outdoor stuff but don’t have a garage or shed.
Popular choice. Good warranty. Works with most deck configurations.
If you already have Trex decking, this matches well. Easy to install on existing decks.
Sometimes we build custom solutions using aluminum or vinyl. Depends on your deck’s structure and what you need.
We’ll recommend what works best for your situation. No point in overselling you on features you don’t need
Not every deck can support a drainage system. We check your joists, spacing, and overall structure. If something needs reinforcing, we tell you upfront.
You get a clear proposal showing materials, layout, and total cost. We explain how water will flow and where it goes.
We work between your existing deck joists, installing panels that channel water to gutters or downspouts. Everything gets sealed properly so water goes where it should.
Want a finished ceiling? Lighting? Maybe a fan for hot summer days? We can add those too.
We understand local weather patterns. Ann Arbor gets plenty of rain and snow. We know how to handle water runoff on different soil types and slopes.
We pay attention to details that matter. Proper sealing. Correct water flow. Making sure everything drains where it should instead of creating new problems.
We show up when we say we will and finish when we promise. No drama, no surprises.
Most elevated or second-story decks can support a DrySpace system, but we’ll evaluate your deck structure first to ensure it’s a good fit and meets necessary requirements.
Homeowners often use the dry area for shaded patios, hot tubs, covered seating, or protected storage for tools, bikes, and lawn equipment.
Most installations are completed in 1–2 days, depending on the size of your deck and whether any structural modifications are needed.
Minimal maintenance is required. We recommend occasional gutter cleaning and visual inspections to ensure the drainage is working properly.
