Damaged Roof Decking: Why You Can’t Repair It

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, and the roof decking is a critical component of it. Monitoring your roof decking for damage can help protect your home. If your roof decking does get damaged, though, you will need an experienced roofing contractor like Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing to replace it.

What Is Roof Decking?

The roof decking is the layer of plywood or OSB (oriented strand boards) that provides a base for the underlayment, shingles and other materials that make up your roof. The decking separates the roofing interior and exterior spaces.

Signs Your Roof Decking is Damaged

There are signs that can help you identify a damaged roof deck. One is if you see water stains on your ceiling, which indicate a leak in your roof. Another sign is missing shingles or other components from your roof, which could mean that the decking is exposed to moisture and therefore could be warped or damaged. Finally, a sagging roof line indicates damaged decking and framing.

Why You Can’t Repair Damaged Roof Decking

Unfortunately, once the roof decking is damaged, it cannot be repaired. The only way to fix it is to replace entire affected sections, which means all components installed on it will need to be removed. Because the decking is hidden under the outer layer of roofing material, the rest of the roof has to be carefully inspected in case damage has spread to other areas. Replacement shingles must be carefully selected to make sure they’re a good match to the rest of the roof.

Local Roof Replacement Contractors Can Help

It’s best to leave damaged roof decking to roof replacement companies in Austin, TX. These asphalt roofing contractors specialize in replacing damaged roof decking and help make sure that repair work is as seamless as possible.
