Myth: If the railing wiggles a little, it’s no big deal.
Fact: A loose railing usually means rust or weakened connections and that’s a real safety hazard.
Railings are there to keep people safe, so if they’re moving around, they’re not doing their job.
We see this a lot on balconies and stairs, especially near the coast where salt air speeds up corrosion. What starts as a little wiggle can turn into a serious failure if it’s left alone.
If your rails aren’t solid, don’t wait, get it checked.
