Look for visible signs of rust, cracking, or separation around chimneys, vents, and roof valleys. Inside, check for water stains on ceilings or walls near these areas. Sacramento's weather can accelerate corrosion, so if you notice these signs, it's wise to have a professional inspection to prevent leaks and more extensive damage to your roof deck.

Roof deck rot is typically caused by persistent moisture intrusion from damaged shingles, compromised flashing, or clogged gutters. It weakens the structural support of your roof. Repair involves locating and sealing the source of the leak, then carefully removing and replacing the rotted decking with new, treated plywood before re-roofing. Addressing it promptly prevents safety hazards and more invasive repairs.

We recommend bi-annual inspections, especially after fall and spring, to clear debris from valleys and gutters and check sealants. Ensuring your attic ventilation is adequate is crucial to prevent moisture buildup that leads to rot. Proactively addressing minor issues with flashing or shingles is the most effective way to protect your roof from Sacramento's seasonal moisture and temperature swings.
