Drainage Protection: Keeping drainage clear prevents water damage and erosion

Structural Integrity: Early detection of board and hardware issues prevents safety hazards

Play Quality: Consistent maintenance ensures predictable ball roll and enjoyable play

Cost Management: Preventive care costs significantly less than major repairs or reconstruction
