Wood Rot Restoration
Most roof decking, called sheathing, is made from plywood. These thin sheets of wood tend to absorb moisture easily when exposed to the elements. This exposure can be due to the shingles cracking or shifting, causing a leak to penetrate the underlying sheathing.
The moisture causes rot to occur. The degradation of this wood can cause the structure to weaken and collapse in extreme cases. Mighty Hands Roofing, Inc. can remove the rotted wood and restore the area to be stronger and healthier in the long run.
How To Identify Wood Rot
If you're thinking you may need wood rot removal, make sure you run through this checklist of items to look out for if you suspect wood rot:
- Spots where the wood is darker
- Black, white, yellow, brown, or gray growths or discoloration
- Spongy to the touch
- Wood crumbles or cracks
- Presence of a damp or musty smell
If you notice any of the above, contact Mighty Hands Roofing, Inc. and we'll be able to assist you.
Frequently Asked Wood Rot Removal Questions
The best time to check for wood rot is when you aren't aware of what the decking situation is. This can be when you first buy a house or have never had the home inspected. You should also check for wood rot if you ever have damage to your roof like a tree branch falling on it. And if you're experiencing a leak, check for wood rot.
Experts like Mighty Hands Roofing, Inc. check for signs of rot. Once rot is confirmed, the upper layer is removed and the decking that is affected is cut away and replaced. The layer of roofing is then reapplied or replaced if there is damage.
