Top 6 Signs That Your Roof Decking Might Be Damaged

old asphalt shingle removal

Your roof decking is a crucial structural component that supports shingles and helps protect your home from the elements. If it becomes damaged, it can lead to costly repairs and compromise your roof’s integrity. Here are some key signs that your roof decking might be in trouble:

  1. Sagging Roof – A noticeable dip or sag in your roofline suggests weakened or rotting decking. This can occur due to prolonged water exposure.
  2. Leaks in the Attic – Water stains, mold, or damp insulation in your attic indicate moisture infiltration, which can weaken decking over time.
  3. Soft or Spongy Spots – If walking on your roof feels soft or spongy, it’s a clear sign that the decking has started to deteriorate.
  4. Missing or Warped Shingles – Damaged shingles allow water to seep in, leading to potential decking issues.
  5. Mold or Mildew Growth – Excessive moisture trapped under your roof can encourage mold growth, which can spread and rot the decking.
  6. Ceiling Stains or Peeling Paint – Interior water damage can be a sign of compromised decking allowing leaks.
