Roof Replacement in Kyle, Texas Reveals Hidden Decking Damage

The homeowner had no known interior leaks before the roof was removed. During tear-off, however, we documented deteriorated OSB decking around multiple plumbing penetrations and sections of the roof edge. Some areas had lost enough integrity to break apart and leave open voids beneath the old roofing materials. A ceiling stain is one warning sign, not a complete roof condition assessment. Once the old roofing materials are removed, the exposed decking should be evaluated and compromised sections corrected before the new roofing system is installed.
