Gutter overflow is a common issue here, often due to clogs, improper pitch, or undersized systems. First, we recommend a professional inspection to identify the root cause. We can clear blockages, re-pitch your gutters for optimal flow, or install a larger capacity system designed for our area's rainfall. Addressing overflow quickly prevents water from backing up under your shingles and rotting the roof deck—a frequent problem we see locally.

Signs of roof deck rot include sagging roof planes, dark stains on ceilings, a musty smell in the attic, or spongy feeling when walking on the roof. This often starts with unchecked gutter overflow. If we find rot during an inspection, we carefully remove the affected shingles and plywood, replace the damaged decking with new, treated wood, and ensure the underlying cause (like poor drainage) is corrected to prevent a recurrence.

The most critical maintenance for our area focuses on water management. We advise biannual gutter cleaning (especially after fall and spring), checking for proper downspout drainage away from your foundation, and having a professional roof inspection at least once a year. Our inspections specifically look for early signs of the decking rot and gutter issues we see around town, allowing for minor repairs before they become major, costly problems.
