Melka's Roofing | Roofing Services in Burlington, WI 53105

A leaking roof valley requires expert attention, as it's a critical drainage point. At Melka's Roofing, we start with a thorough inspection to determine if the leak is due to worn flashing, damaged shingles, or improper installation. Our repair focuses on creating a watertight seal, often involving replacing valley flashing and integrating it properly with new, high-quality shingles. We ensure the repair addresses the specific cause to prevent a recurring leak, which is common with our local weather patterns.

Signs of roof decking rot include sagging roof lines, soft spots you can feel from the attic, dark stains, or a musty smell. In Burlington, prolonged moisture from undetected valley leaks or ice dams often leads to this issue. Rot compromises your roof's structure and can lead to interior ceiling damage. If we find rot during an inspection, Melka's Roofing will safely remove the affected decking, replace it with sturdy plywood or OSB, and ensure the new roofing system is properly ventilated to protect against future moisture problems.

The decision depends on the extent of the damage. For isolated leaks or small areas of decking rot, a targeted repair by our team is often a cost-effective solution. However, if leaks are widespread, the decking is extensively compromised, or the roof is near the end of its lifespan, a full replacement is the more reliable, long-term investment. We provide a honest, detailed assessment, explaining the condition of your roof and your options, so you can make the best choice for your home and budget.
