This roof has some serious issues. First being that there is a lot of rotten roof decking due to long term leaking and no drip edge at gutters allowing water to get of roof decking. Plus there is a low slope that is about a 3/12 (almost too flat for shingles) that has leaves, sticks and lots of debris building up on the shingles. This allows water to wick under the shingles causing rusted nails, and leaking roofs.
Leaking Roof with Rotted Eaves
- 1Water ponding and penetrating roof
The shingles are cupping at the edge of the roof creating an area for the water to penetrate
And this is a hole in the corner where water is coming in.
Go To Pin - 2Lots of Debris on the Roof
This section of the roof has a lot of standing debris. This allows water to easily penetrate the shingles allowing water to with under them. There is a good bit of rot along the edge of this section of the roof.
As you can see the edge of the shingles is cupping. This allows water to flow underneath the shingles and get on the roof allowing the wood to rot.
Go To Pin - 3Rotted Wood Under Shingles
This section of the roof has severe wood rot caused by the leak just 18 or 20 inches up the roof.
