In our humid climate, overflowing gutters cause water to cascade down your home's exterior and seep behind fascia boards or under shingles. This trapped moisture saturates the roof deck (the wooden layer under your shingles), creating the perfect environment for rot and mold. Over time, this weakens the roof's structure. We fix this by first correcting the gutter flow with proper sizing and cleaning, then inspecting and repairing any compromised decking to prevent further damage.

Proactive gutter maintenance and installation are key. For Biloxi's heavy rainfall, we recommend and install larger, seamless gutter systems with adequate downspouts to handle the volume. Equally important is ensuring your roof's edge and drip edge flashing are correctly installed to direct all water into the gutters, not around them. A routine inspection and cleaning service can prevent the blockages that often cause overflow during our sudden downpours.

Repairing roof deck rot starts with a thorough inspection to identify all affected areas. We safely remove the damaged shingles and the rotted sections of the wood decking. The new, treated decking is then securely installed, followed by a high-quality underlayment to provide an extra moisture barrier. Finally, we re-shingle the area, blending the repair seamlessly with your existing roof. Addressing rot promptly is crucial to avoid more extensive structural issues in your Biloxi home.
