Common signs include sagging roof lines, dark spots or mold in your attic, spongy areas you can feel when walking on the roof, and persistent leaks. Roof deck rot is a serious problem because it compromises the structural integrity of your entire roof system. In Spokane, this is often caused by trapped moisture from ice dams, heavy snow, or insufficient attic ventilation. If left unaddressed, it can lead to major structural damage and significantly more expensive repairs.

Absolutely. Damaged or deteriorated underlayment (the water-resistant barrier beneath your shingles) is a frequent cause of leaks in our area. It can fail due to age, extreme weather, or improper installation. To fix it, our team will safely remove the affected shingles, replace the compromised underlayment section with a modern, high-grade synthetic material, and re-install the shingles to match your existing roof. This targeted repair addresses the leak at its source and protects the roof deck underneath.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend an annual roof inspection, especially in the spring to check for winter damage. Ensure your attic is properly ventilated and insulated to prevent ice dams and condensation. Keep your gutters clean to allow proper water drainage away from your roof and foundation. Finally, after any major storm, it's wise to do a visual check for missing shingles or debris. Catching small issues early is the best way to prevent extensive damage like deck rot.
