DFR Services | Roofing Services in Poteet, TX 78065

Roof decking rot often stems from prolonged water intrusion. A properly constructed deck from DFR Services includes critical waterproofing and flashing details at the house attachment point. We ensure the ledger board is correctly sealed and flashed to prevent water from seeping behind it and into your home's structural framing, directly addressing a common entry point for moisture that leads to rot.

Absolutely. Separated roof flashing can allow water to run down your exterior walls and directly onto your deck or its connection point to the house. This can accelerate wood rot in the deck's ledger board and supports. DFR Services can inspect your deck for water damage during a repair or replacement, fixing both the visible deck issues and helping mitigate problems caused by failing roof components.

If underlying rot from roof-related water damage has compromised the deck's structural framing or ledger board, a repair may not be sufficient or safe. DFR Services recommends replacement when we find extensive rot, as it allows us to rebuild with proper modern flashing techniques and materials that create a lasting barrier against the moisture common in our area, protecting your home's siding and foundation long-term.
