Absolutely. Adding a deck or an addition can alter how water flows off your roof. A common issue we see in Warsaw homes is gutter overflow after new construction, often because the existing gutter system isn't sized or pitched correctly for the changed roof area. At LSP Construction, we assess the entire roof drainage system as part of our deck or addition projects. We ensure proper gutter sizing, downspout placement, and grading to handle increased water flow, preventing overflow and protecting your home's foundation and siding.

Yes, it very well could be. In many Warsaw homes, a deck installed against the house is integrated with the roof's flashing system. Over time, this flashing can separate due to settling or weather, allowing water to sneak behind the deck ledger board and leak down the wall. Our deck repair and replacement services include a thorough inspection of the roof-to-wall flashing. We reseal or replace compromised flashing to create a watertight seal, stopping leaks at their source and ensuring your deck is secure and dry.

Preventing flashing separation is critical for a watertight addition, especially with our local freeze-thaw cycles. The key is proper integration of the new roof with the existing structure. Our process involves carefully removing and inspecting the old flashing, using compatible, high-quality materials for the new installation, and applying precise sealing techniques. We pay special attention to step flashing along walls and valley flashing where roof planes meet. This meticulous approach ensures the new flashing won't separate, safeguarding your addition and your entire home from water intrusion for years to come.
