What is a Roof Deck?

The roof deck is part of the structural surface over which the roofing materials are applied. The roof deck surface should be a smooth solid surface which permits all roof covering to be securely fastened. Acceptable roof decks include but are not limited to:

  • Plywood Min 3/8’s up to ¾”
  • OSB – Oriented Strand Board
  • Wood Deck Sheathing Roof Boards 6” Tongue and Grove (T&G)
  • Com-Ply Panels
  • Pre-Assembled Nailable Insulated Ventilated Decks

Why is the underside of the roof deck a good place to find roofing problems?

When performing an attic inspection, a great place to look for problems is on the underside of the roof deck. Inspecting the underside of the roof deck is like taking an X-Ray. Finding some of the following problems can help you identify and locate roof leaks, moisture problems and attic ventilation concerns. Some of the following problems may indicate roofing problems:

  • Black stains around the roof nails that penetrate the roof deck
    • Problem          Attic Ventilation – Insulation
  • Large Black Stains or Mold Spoors
    • Problem          Attic Ventilation -Roof Leaks
  • Water Stain running down a rafter or around a roof penetration
    • Problem          Roof Leak -Ice Damming-Animal Damage-Wind Driven Rains

How Much Repair Work will be Needed Beyond the Roof Covering?

When removing and repairing roof sections it’s important to take the time to evaluate the substrate to ensure the roof deck will securely receive the fasteners. At the very least, apply waterproofing adhesives that will secure the new roof coverings to last the life of the existing roofing materials.

When should I Contact a Professional to Evaluate my Roof Structure?

If you’re not sure about the condition or the quality the roof substrate, if you haven’t been in your attic recently and you’re still not sure what to look for… you could be experiencing problems and not even know it. Contact a professional who understands how these components work together as a system, and how they impact your home’s performance, so they can help you identify your needs.

Roof Deck Repairs

The process begins with a simple phone call to the insurance company. You just inform the person on the phone that you would like to file a hail damage claim. They will ask a few identifying questions, and take your information. An insurance adjuster will be assigned to your claim, and will contact you to set up an appointment. Let us know when the adjuster is coming, and we’ll meet them there to represent you!
You cannot be penalized for a storm damage claim, however, the reality is that a hail storm causes damage to an entire area, which will likely result in increased premiums for all homeowners in the area, it makes sense to take advantage of the coverage provided by the insurance company.
Its unlikely but maybe your lucky, Hail doesn’t usually skip houses it covers the entire area. It is very unlikely that your neighbors would have damage, yet your home or business would not. If your claim has been denied, give us a call. We’ll come inspect the property, find any damage that is there, and walk you through the next steps.
