Your roofing system is more than just the shingles you see. It is designed with various components to ensure it performs well in any kind of weather. One of the most important parts of a roofing system is the roof deck.
Also called sheathing, the roof deck is a layer of plywood or composite material found between the shingles and the roof structure. It’s where your shingles are nailed, so your roof deck must be strong and durable. Unfortunately, your roof decking could get damaged due to moisture or wood rot. When this happens, roofing and snow removal experts usually don’t recommend its repair.
Continue reading to find out why you should replace a damaged roof deck instead.
Roof repair is often an appropriate solution to prolong the life of your roof. But if your roof deck has been infected with rot, a repair is definitely the route you want to take. A damaged roof deck must be fully replaced. Otherwise, it will create more problems leading to mold and mildew growth and costly repairs.
If you’re replacing your shingles after snow dam removal, you should change your roof deck too. This will ensure your shingles have a sturdy surface where they will be nailed. It will also allow you to have peace of mind that your new roof will be able to withstand high winds and have a long lifespan.
