Q&A
What are the signs of roof decking rot or underlayment damage on my Chicago home?
Common signs include persistent leaks or water stains on your ceilings, a spongy or sagging feeling when walking on the roof, higher than usual heating or cooling bills, and visible mold or mildew in your attic. Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation can accelerate this hidden damage, so it's wise to get a professional inspection if you notice any of these issues.
How does B&S Roofing repair roof decking damage?
Our process starts with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the rot. We then carefully remove the damaged shingles and underlayment to expose the affected decking. All rotted wood is removed and replaced with new, treated plywood or OSB sheathing. Finally, we install a new, high-quality synthetic underlayment and your chosen roofing materials, ensuring a solid, watertight seal that stands up to Chicago's weather.
Why is proper underlayment so important for a Chicago roof?
The underlayment is your roof's critical secondary water barrier. In Chicago, with its driving rain, ice dams, and snow, a compromised underlayment means water can easily reach and rot your roof decking. We use premium, ice-and-water shield underlayment in vulnerable areas (like eaves and valleys) and high-performance synthetic underlayment across the entire roof deck. This creates a durable barrier that protects your home's structure from the moisture damage common in our climate.
