First, try to safely identify the general area of the leak inside your home and minimize water damage. Then, contact a professional like D&m Roofing for an inspection. In our climate, a spring leak often indicates compromised shingles, ice dam damage, or failing seals around vents and chimneys that were hidden under snow. Prompt repair is crucial to prevent further issues like decking rot or mold growth in your attic.

Roof decking is the wooden layer (plywood or OSB) beneath your shingles. Rot occurs when persistent moisture from leaks, ice dams, or poor attic ventilation weakens this wood. It's common in Winter Park because minor leaks from heavy snow or ice dams can go unnoticed until significant damage is done. If left unchecked, rotten decking compromises your roof's structural integrity and requires replacement during a repair.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend a pre-winter inspection to check for loose or damaged shingles, ensure attic ventilation is adequate to prevent ice dams, and clear gutters. After major storms, it's wise to visually check for damage. Scheduling a professional inspection in the spring, after snowmelt, allows us to catch and fix any issues before the next winter cycle, protecting your home year-round.
