Often, the first sign is a water stain on your interior ceiling or walls, typically appearing directly below or near the roof's valley. You might also notice damp insulation in the attic after a storm. In Colorado Springs, these leaks are frequently caused by ice dam damage in winter or compromised valley flashing from hail. It's crucial to address it quickly to prevent roof decking rot.

Roof decking (the plywood or OSB under your shingles) provides the structural base for your entire roof. In our climate, persistent moisture from valley leaks or ice dams can saturate the decking, leading to rot. This weakens the roof's structure, compromises its ability to support heavy snow loads, and can lead to costly interior damage and mold growth. Early detection and repair are key to maintaining your home's safety and value.

We start with a thorough inspection to locate the exact source of the leak, often checking the valley flashing, underlayment, and surrounding shingles for damage. Our repair focuses on a permanent solution, which may involve replacing damaged sections, installing new ice and water shield—a critical defense for Colorado winters—and ensuring proper sealing and integration with the existing roof. We always inspect the adjacent decking for any hidden rot to ensure the repair is complete and durable.
