Trex® RainEscape® Class Action Lawsuit
Trex® RainEscape® Class Action Lawsuit
My Trex® RainEscape® has developed cracks and is leaking.
I recorded this short video showing a few of the cracks.

This is but one of the many cracks in my Trex RainEscape system. That sliver of blue is the sky above my deck! Copyright 2026 Tim Carter
Other Trex® RainEscape® owners might have the same issue.
At least one person who has the same problem has left a comment on my video.
I predict, at some point, that Trex® RainEscape® may be named in a class-action lawsuit about this defect.
