This is a 1990ies deck being evaluated during a home inspection. Decks of this time period often lack ledger flashing and pan flashing under the exterior door. Ledger flashing prevents water from getting behind the deck ledger board, causing water damage to the ledger board and subflooring.
These pictures show correct ledger flashing from another home, and the water pe*******on results from the lack of ledger flashing in this older home. You can see the water affecting the subfloor of the home adjacent to the deck.
