Dry rot plywood is more than just an appearance issue, it’s a serious structural problem. When plywood becomes rotten or water damaged, it loses its strength and can no longer properly hold roofing nails. That means your new shingles and roofing system may not be securely fastened, leading to future leaks, blow offs, and costly repairs.
A proper roof replacement isn’t just about shingles. It’s also about making sure the roof deck underneath is solid and structurally sound.
Ventilation is just as important. Without proper soffit ventilation and roof ventilation, heat and moisture get trapped in the attic. Over time, this can cause condensation, mold, premature shingle failure, and wood rot in the roof decking.
Good airflow = a longer-lasting roof.
- Solid plywood decking
- Proper soffit intake ventilation
- Proper roof exhaust ventilation
- A healthier, longer lasting roofing system
Cutting corners on ventilation or decking repairs today can lead to major problems tomorrow.
