Reyes Construction | Flooring & Roofing in Truckee, CA 96161

A thorough plumbing inspection identifies leaks or condensation issues in your attic and walls that can go unnoticed for months. In Truckee's climate, this hidden moisture is a primary cause of roof deck rot, as it softens the wood from the inside out. By catching and fixing these plumbing issues early, we help keep your roof structure dry and sound, preventing costly rot repair and protecting your home's integrity.

After high winds in Truckee, first check your property for missing shingles or tiles, damaged flashing around chimneys and vents, and debris on the roof. Inside your home, look for new water stains on ceilings or in the attic, which can indicate the protective layer has been compromised. Even minor wind damage can lead to leaks and, eventually, rot. We recommend a professional inspection after major storms to assess for less obvious issues like lifted shingles or weakened seals.

Roof deck rot weakens the essential structural support of your roof. In Truckee, where we get heavy snow loads, a compromised roof deck is a serious safety risk, as it may not be able to bear the weight. Furthermore, rot creates a perfect environment for mold and allows more moisture to penetrate, leading to insulation damage, higher energy bills, and interior ceiling damage. Prompt repair restores strength and prevents a small problem from becoming a major, whole-roof replacement.
