Underneath your shingles lies the roof decking—a layer of wood that provides structure and support. When leaks go untreated, moisture seeps into this layer and causes rot. In Glens Falls, this is especially common after long, wet winters or when snow sits on the roof for extended periods.
A roofer will carefully remove the damaged shingles and underlayment, inspect the decking, and cut out any rotted sections. These are replaced with new, treated plywood panels that are secured and sealed to prevent future water penetration. Finally, new underlayment and shingles are installed to complete the repair.
Repairing rotted decking is critical for maintaining your roof’s strength and safety. Left unchecked, deck rot can lead to sagging, leaks, and structural instability.
Glens Falls homeowners can prevent roof decking rot through annual inspections and timely maintenance. Quick action at the first sign of water damage keeps your roof solid and your home protected for years to come.
