The component that secures the roof of the house is called the decking. Even if it isn’t visible, it plays a significant role in your home’s protection against moisture-related issues — much like your seamless gutters. Unfortunately, once it develops damage, you must have it replaced.
Roof leaks often result from damaged decking. Inside your home, check your ceilings for water stains or spots. Look at your walls because peeling paint and wallpaper indicate water has entered your interior. Go to your attic and look for dark marks on the rafters and the insulation. Is there light entering the space through gaps and holes in the roof?
Have you noticed that your roofline or ceiling is looking uneven? If these parts of your house are sagging, it could be because of moisture-laden or warped decking. Schedule a professional inspection immediately if you have this issue in your home, and have the decking replaced if necessary.
Often, people believe that they will save more with roofing repairs. However, this isn’t the case with compromised decking, especially once the wood rot has already occurred. The component must be replaced entirely, or the damage will only worsen and lead to other issues like mold growth and rot.
If you suspect that your decking has damage, contact a professional immediately. They are trained to diagnose and address this roofing issue. Reputable roofers have the appropriate tools and equipment to perform the job efficiently and safely.
